Description
La neige tombe pendant toute une journée, une semaine, un mois! Peu à peu, elle recouvre l’univers de Sammy. Il grimpe alors au sommet des
montagnes qu’elle forme et imagine ce qui se cache en dessous : une ourse noire et ses petits, des baleines et des phoques, et même des elfes
mineurs creusant la terre pour y trouver émeraudes et rubis! Mais le temps se réchauffe et la neige commence à fondre.
Ce livre tout simple et délicieusement fantaisiste est une ode à la magie de l’hiver dans les climats nordiques.
