What’s inside...
Based on the globally popular video-game, this picture book follows a newly crafted Snow Golem who longs to see the world beyond his snowy biome. Accompanied by a loyal baby wolf, he treks through forests, deserts, oceans, and even the treacherous Nether in search of a place where he can both belong and help others. Along the way the gentle, carrot-nosed hero learns to turn perceived weaknesses—like melting in warm climates—into strengths, makes unexpected friends, and discovers that home is less about where you were made and more about the community you build.
