Snow and Rose

After their father mysteriously vanishes into the woods and their mother falls into deep sorrow, sisters Snow and Rose must leave their grand estate for a humble cottage at the edge of an enchanted forest in this lyrical reimagining of the Brothers Grimm tale 'Snow White and Rose Red.' The two sisters—gentle, patient Rose and wild, adventurous Snow—venture into the mysterious woods where they befriend a boy living underground, discover a strange library of magical objects, and form a bond with a protective bear, all while navigating a trickster and breaking a set of old spells. The story beautifully explores family dynamics, grief and loss, and especially the powerful, complementary bond of sisterhood, as the two girls' contrasting personalities make their relationship stronger. With atmospheric full-color illustrations by the author throughout, this is a gentle but moody fantasy that balances whimsy with deeper emotional themes of courage, kindness, and taking risks.
