Break The Curse

Stína, by award-winning author and illustrator Lani Yamamoto, tells a heart-warming story of friendship and love amid the cold of winter. Those who live in cooler climates, like the acclaimed author herself, know all too well the energy and ingenuity that goes into staying warm during the coldest months. In the quirky but realistic world of Stína, the titular character thinks up brilliant invention after brilliant invention to stay clear of the chilly outside world. She soon realizes, though, that to keep warm will take more than ingenuity, logic and science--it takes action and friendship. Stína has won multiple awards in Iceland and was also nominated for the prestigious Nordic Council Literature Award as one of the best Scandinavian children's books.
