[DeepL Translation - needs review] "You are small as frost and soft as snow.
As the winter grows colder, you will become hard as ice.

A cat and a picture book bring comfort to lonely children!
When they moved to the little Walsett house, Zinzhi lost a lot of things. His father has left home to wander the world, his mother is always tired from her night shift at the warehouse, and his favorite picture books have no place in the house. ...
Beautiful writing & story
*The story focuses on a lonely girl and her love of books, with a cat introduced along the way.
*The written language is beautiful. Compared to other children's books I've read the story focuses on narrating emotions and atmosphere, and so it was rich in detailed descriptions beyond the basics. I personally have trouble with adjectives so this was a godsend for my learning (both in picking up new words and having plentiful examples of how to pattern my descriptions from here on out).
