About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is buzzing with excitement for the first snowfall or when you want to bridge the gap between 'spooky' Halloween energy and the 'cozy' winter season. It is a perfect choice for children who find comfort in the unconventional, showing that joy and family traditions look the same even if you have fangs and a pet werewolf. The story follows Vampirina and her monstrously charming family as they embrace a snowy night through sledding, making snow angels, and ice skating. While the setting is 'hauntingly beautiful,' the emotional core is rooted in warmth, family togetherness, and the wonder of nature. It is a gentle, upbeat read that celebrates trying new things and finding magic in every season, making it an ideal bedtime story for preschoolers who love a little whimsey with their winter tales.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book features monsters (vampires, ghosts, werewolves), but the treatment is entirely secular and whimsical. There are no 'scary' elements in a traditional sense; rather, the 'spooky' aesthetic is used for humor and charm. There are no heavy topics like death or loss despite the protagonist being a vampire.
