The Cold Water Witch by Yannick Murphy


Ever wanted to be a princess of a snowy land? Here's your chance.

I received my copy of this book from Tricycle Press, and the illustrations by Tom Lintern made me feel very cold - even a nice hot summer day!

It's the coldest day of the year and the cold water witch wants to imprison another young girl in her land of ice and snow. But the girl is smarter than that. She tries hard to outwit the witch and the story has an unexpected ending.

This picture book is for younger readers and while it has a fearful part to the tale, it ends up happily for all. It is worth purchasing to just admire the artwork of the illustrations. And I really enjoyed the story.

Visit your local bookstore and check it out for yourself. I bet you leave with a copy...
