About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is beginning to take on more responsibility and needs to understand that true leadership is about service rather than just being in charge. Snowbone is a story for the child who feels different or 'wooden' in their emotions, helping them navigate the transition from following the rules to making difficult moral choices. Through the journey of Snowbone and her band of tiddlins, children explore themes of justice, accountability, and the weight of protecting those who cannot protect themselves. The story is a high-stakes fantasy adventure that deals with serious topics like slavery and survival in a way that feels mythic and purposeful. It is an ideal choice for middle-grade readers who enjoy complex world-building and are ready to discuss what it means to stand up against unfairness. While it contains moments of peril, the core message focuses on the resilience of the spirit and the importance of finding one's purpose within a community.
