What is The snail house about?

When Grandma begins a bedtime story, Michael, Hannah and their baby brother are whisked into a wonderfully tiny world. They shrink so small that a snail’s shell becomes their new home. Living among the grass and garden creatures, the children discover hidden places, unexpected dangers and the comforts of home in an unusual shelter. With Grandma’s storytelling guiding them, this gentle fantasy celebrates imagination, family and the magical possibilities waiting in the smallest corners of the world.
