What is The Fire Fox Shortlisted for the Oscar’s Book Prize about?
After Freya’s dad dies, she and her mum retreat to a snowy cabin, where everything feels cold and dark. Then Freya spots a mysterious white fox and follows it into the forest. As sparks fly from the fox’s fur and paint the night sky with the Northern Lights, Freya discovers a world of wonder, courage and warmth. Inspired by a Sámi legend, this gentle picture book explores grief, love and the hope that can return even after great sadness.
