PRAISE FOR Frostfire:

"As contemplative and lovely as a walk in the snow." —STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews

"This gem of a story is an ideal cold-weather companion, offering wintry wonders and a humorous twist that sweetly shifts the dynamic between the sisters. The gently suspenseful story is satisfying on its own, but the exquisite paper scenes are a wonder as well. . . . An enchanting outing that will have readers longing to wander a winter wonderland." —STARRED REVIEW, Booklist

"Elly MacKay's radiant, fantastical Frostfire showcases the bond between two sisters who take pleasure in letting their imaginations take the lead." Shelf Awareness

"Spray paint, watercolor, glitter, fabric, and digital techniques contribute to the soft glow present in MacKay's sparkling photographs of mixed-media paper scenes. Clad in stylish coats, delicate red foxes easily become the focal point of each enchanted spread in this imagination-fueled winter tale." Publishers Weekly

"Frostfire is a winter-tastic picture book for young readers! The illustrations are beautifully done, detailed yet allows readers to get lost in the whimsical winter following sisters in a snowy kingdom. A book for imagination lovers." American Booksellers Association

"Frostfire is a beautifully illustrated book about exploring and imagination and an ideal book to read in the fall and winter." Metroland Media

"Overall, this book is charming, and perfect for the coming (hopefully) cold months." Young Adulting
