About Little Snowy Hare
Meet Little Snowy Hare, and join her on a magical wintery adventure!
Little Snowy Hare is lost in the snow, far away from her cosy home. Following a trail of footprints through the snowy Arctic wilderness, she meets a curious fox, an unhelpful reindeer and a rather dopey polar bear along the way.
As night falls, the Northern Lights dance across the sky. But when Snowy wakes the next morning, a fresh blanket of snow has covered the ground, and all the footprints have disappeared! How will she find her way home now?
Join Snowy on an enchanting adventure filled with Arctic animals, wintery wonders and discoveries around every corner. Can she find the courage to trust herself and carve out her own path?
