Silla loves the winter with its snow and cold winds, but most of all, she loves the ice. So when the ice floes of her kingdom and the icicles at her Ice Palace start to melt, she doesn’t believe Zeffa, King of the Warm Winds, when he comes to her in friendship, begging for her help. Instead, she declares war on him and assembles her battalion of penguins: the battle lines have been drawn. But sometimes people aren’t what they seem and loyalty is found in the most unexpected of places. Will Silla and Zeffa be able to overcome their differences to fight global warming and save their kingdoms?
A tale showing how by working together we can overcome the seemingly impossible, vividly depicted by evocative illustrations.
