In this luminous reimagining of Louisa May Alcott's fairy tale, Virginia Hamilton tells the story of Violet—a small but mighty fairy. Violet knows her flower friends are in danger as the Frost King forbids sunlight in his kingdom. When the queen calls for a messenger to convince the Frost King to stop his destruction, Violet is first to volunteer. But the king is not easily convinced, and Violet soon finds herself imprisoned in the depths of the Frost King's frigid world. Will she be able to sway the king’s wicked heart and protect those she loves most?
Virginia Hamilton long admired Alcott’s fairy tale and took great measures to honor the message of kindness that Violet’s actions represent. While Hamilton passed away before completing this project, her son Jaime Adoff thoughtfully weaves together this special story for today’s young readers. Together with April Harrison’s magnificent artwork, this captivating picture book celebrates courage, perseverance, and the power that lives inside us all.

* "Sumptuous and necessary…Harrison’s mixed-media illustrations are meant to be savored for their layers of detail. Light seems to shine through these stunning, vibrant pages. Would that the English alphabet had more than 26 letters so that H Is for Harlem could have been longer."
—Booklist, starred review
* "An ode to the beating heart of African American culture with remarkable depth and breadth. This title is a celebration of Harlem’s vibrancy, dynamism, and significance."—School Library Journal, starred review
