Snow Warrior weaves together a poetic fairy tale set in Snow World, which symbolically represents the Arctic. This children's book story, illustrated in an exquisite, beautiful style, targets 10-12-year-old children. Elena, a brave young girl who lives on the southern side of Snow World, perseveres in trying to save her animal friends on the northern side from the harshest conditions of climate change induced by human behaviors while the people there ignore the situation.
