Pandi and Kapi: Footprints in the First Snow

Overnight the world turns quiet and white. Pandi and Kapi step outside and discover a forest full of stories: tiny prints at the bird feeder, the hopping pattern of a squirrel, the elegant trail of a deer-and what stride length means: close steps when you creep, wide ones when you dash. They practice mindful steps, compare patterns in the snow, and learn key winter rules: never walk on ice unless you know it's strong enough, and be careful with high snowdrifts that may hide branches or stones. In the end, their own footprints guide them safely home where warmth and cocoa with honey are waiting. A night of closeness and learning: look closely, breathe calmly, act together. This picture book blends gentle suspense with clear, soothing language. Each spread offers short read-aloud texts and rich details ideal for bedtime and first reading steps. Extra: Heart-Quest! On every illustrated spread, 2 3 tiny hearts are hidden: children search, count and compare turning reading into a playful game.
