Snow and Rose
Snow and Rose | Emily Winfield Martin
Give the gift of this stunningly illustrated fairy-tale reimagining from theNew York Timesbestselling author-illustrator of The Wonderful Things You Will Be this holiday season-sure to be a modern classic! Snow and Rose didn't know they were in a fairy tale. People never do. . . . Once, they lived in a big house with spectacular gardens and an army of servants. Once, they had a father and mother who loved them more than the sun and moon. But that was before their father disappeared into the woods and their mother disappeared into sorrow. This is the story of two sisters and the enchanted woods that have been waiting for them to break a set of terrible spells. In Snow & Rose, bestselling author-illustrator Emily Winfield Martin retells the traditional but little-known fairy tale "Snow White and Rose Red." The beautiful full-color illustrations throughout and unusual yet relatable characters will bring readers back to this book again and again. "The deeper meanings of the story do emerge, but the pleasure . . . is paramount." -The New York Times

I couldn‘t decide which Snow White I wanted to read for the #fairytalereading challenge. So I picked both tales available on https://surlalunefairytales.com. The re-tellings I chose are Snow & Rose that I‘m audiobooking on libby and Fairest of All, my own ebook copy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “To find out what a story‘s *really* about,” the Librarian said, “you don‘t ask the writer. You ask the *reader*.” I absolutely loved this fairytale and the intricate illustrations. Fun way to start 2021!

Last YouTube readathon during March: Middle Grade Books. Also, with book, I read 2 and half books during Litsy weekend readathon, 24 something☺️The story of this book is ok, in my opinion poorly integrated. However, the book is gorgeous, from cover, quality of pages, design, author illustrations, were unique. In terms of rating, story 2.95⭐️book with illustrations 3.95/4⭐️ I like these readathon because help me to read more books from my tbr

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I read this one recently! I loved that the focus was on friendship rather than romantic love (which would have been kind of gross considering the girls ages) 5y
TiffanyMichele @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I loved that too! It‘s so rare when they don‘t shove ill conceived romance down your throat 😅. 5y

Omygoodness. This book was so beautifully written and executed so well! Definitely a favorite added to my shelves.
The ending made me cry happy tears and I am so emotionally compromised right now. Read it, I know you‘ll love it. It is a wonderful children‘s book that contains all the wonder and magic but portrays grief in a excellent manner.
(The only part I didn‘t care for was when the kids repeatedly disobeyed and kept many secrets.)

I just happened to find this at the library yesterday. It's a much better handling of a fairy tale than my last one, though I read this myself and not to my daughter. I think it's a little dark for her yet (she's almost 5).

Rose and Snow are adapting to a new, simpler life in a cottage in the woods after their father goes missing. Their adventures are by turns fun, exhilarating, and dangerous. But something menacing is lurking.

Clare-Dragonfly Ooh, this is my favorite fairy tale and this retelling sounds great! 6y
ravenlee @Clare-Dragonfly I really enjoyed it, and it went fast. I wish there had been more resolution, though the ending itself is satisfying. Great illustrations, too. 6y

“Snow and Rose didn‘t know they were living in a fairy tale—people never do.”

When their father‘s disappearance forces Snow, Red, & their mother out of the luxurious house they called home & into a small cottage in the woods, they discover a new & magical world. By turns dark & mysterious, wondrous & strange, Martin‘s reimagined tale of ‘Snow White and Rose Red‘ is a feast for the eyes & a delight for anyone who loves a good fairy tale.

ElishaLovesBooks This looks amazing!! I think Tova would like it! 6y

“What is a library made of?” she said in that way people do when they know they‘ve asked a tricky question.

“A whole lot of books,” Snow answered...

The Librarian shook her head. “Wrong.” She took a bite of cookie. “A whole lot of stories.”

I‘ll try to stop with the excessive quoting soon. Really, I‘ll try but the book is an absolute delight and it‘s hard to resist sharing beautiful snippets.

This is a lovely telling of the Grimm's tale. Two sisters who wander the woods, a missing father, a grieving mother, a magic library, a pet bear, and a friend who harvests mushrooms--this tale is beautifully illustrated in romantic watercolors and evocative prose. #fairytales #childrensliterature #kidlit #kidlitart

Two girls lose their father and beautiful life to be placed in a small cottage and an enchanted wood with their grieving mother. They meet Ivo, a mushroom farmer and friend, and see many unusual animals. Stranger yet is the little man that Snow and Rose keep meeting, who is quite unpleasant even as they help him. Martin's many illustrations and twist on a tale create the perfect retelling for children. A true favorite!

This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen! Plus it's a fairytale, and those are my favorite. This is my daughter's book. A great part of having kids that are readers is they keep the house stocked with books for you to borrow, many you might not come across yourself. I can't remember how this goes and I'm trying to decide whether to look up the old tale or be surprised. 😀
