Helped by kind strangers and guided by her warm heart, Gerda makes the perilous journey to rescue her friend from the icy palace of the Snow Queen. A chapter book AUTHOR: Sarah Lowes has always been fascinated by stories. She spent the early part of her career as a primary school teacher where she was able to study the effects of the written and spoken word on young children. She then trained as a psychotherapist, specialising in fairy tales and realising that story creates a kind of trance where all things are possible and many things can be healed. Sarah lives in England and has a private practice as a psychotherapist and as a creative consultant to professional writers. ILLUSTRATOR: Miss Clara is a French artist with a great following among readers of fairy tales. Her illustrations start with tiny and intricately detailed paper maquettes of princesses, elves, wolves and enchanted scenes which she photographs and completes digitally. AGES 8-10
