Description

Chi is a panda who loves to listen.
Being silent brings sounds to her ears: the swish of bamboo, the chitter of birds, and then one day, a new sound, gentle and sweet. The sound leads Chi to a boy, who blows breath through a piece of bamboo. Chi is enchanted and longs to make friends, but she is shy and hides instead.
As the boy searches for Chi and mist gathers in the forest, she must find the courage to help him-even if it means being seen . . .

Publisher Review

Corrinne Averiss, yet again, conjures a world where young minds (and those that still feel young) can imagine, explore, and take a moment to breathe. * David Oakes, Actor * With soft-focus illustrations by Woodcock, Averiss conjures up a far-away world where music drifts through the bamboo groves and a friendship evolves inspired by gentle music. * Blackbird Pie Magazine * Praise for A Dot in the Snow: "A simple story, but full of energy and vigour, and with moments of drama and poignancy. Fiona Woodcock's illustrations create swirling snowstorms and moments of tenderness between parent and child with equal skill." * Love Reading 4 Kids * Praise for A Dot in the Snow: "A soft, snowy and beautiful picture book about friendship and family... with a gentle environmen-tal theme." * Booktrust * Praise for A Dot in the Snow: "Breathtakingly lovely. I adored this book." * Cerrie Burnell * Praise for A Dot in the Snow: "Perfect for bedtime reading aloud or early independent readers." * Mail on Sunday *
