I'm very excited to be a part of the Blog Tour for Ian Eagleton's new novel, The Woodcutter and the Snow Prince! This is a beautifully illustrated novel with LGBTQ+ themes that should be on every school library shelf! Kai is a woodcutter, but he's lonely, every Christmas eve he carves a wooden statue for anyone who passes him by. However, people rarely do. Then, one fateful Christmas Eve night, he's met by the Snow Prince. The Prince helps Kai with his loneliness but himself is struggling. The Prince is feared by many people, but Kai sees him as someone not to be feared, but to be respected. Then, the Prince freezes once more, sealed in his icy prison because of a terrible curse that has been bestowed upon him. Now, it's up to Kai to try and break the curse, but is he going to be too late? This is a really beautiful action-adventure filled with magic and wonder. A classic-retelling of the Snow Queen fairy tale, it's full of gorgeous illustrations and realistic characters. I highly recommend this novel, perfect for a cold winter evening!
