A shaman hunts a silver fox through the frosted snow. A brave little robin defies a polar bear. The blind Viking god of winter plays a dangerous game with his brother, the god of summer. Explore wintertime through the eyes of cultures around the world with this chilly collection of traditional tales. From the frozen tundra of Canada to the far off islands in the Pacific Ocean, explore how diverse peoples have told the story of winter. The world is full of fanciful stories that are told and retold over hundreds of years. Folktales, legends, and traditional tales are told here with magic, mystery, and humor. A werewolf's bride is on the hunt, a heroine battles a greedy giant, and the hag of winter endlessly battles the god of summer. Key Common Core and social studies curriculum standards are reinforced by the antics of emperors, werewolves, and shape-shifters in this multicultural collection.
