About this listen

In a world where Spring has been forgotten, one boy and a frozen guardian must find the beat of a dying heart. The village of Oakhaven is trapped. While the calendar says April, the wind still howls with the bite of January, and the flowers refuse to wake from their icy sleep. In the center of the town stands Barnaby a snowman who doesn’t melt, doesn’t slump, and carries a strange, pulsing blue light deep within his chest.

Leonard, a young boy with a sharp mind and a heart full of curiosity, discovers that Barnaby isn't just a figure of snow and charcoal. He is the guardian of the Winter’s Heart, a magical relic that has mysteriously stopped beating. If the Heart remains frozen, the world will stay locked in a glass jar of eternal winter forever. Together, Leonard and Barnaby embark on a perilous quest through the Ever-White Forest. Along the way, they must navigate The Library of Frozen Stories, where memories are preserved in blocks of ancient ice.

The Shadow of the Solstice, a creature that demands the price of a warmest memory to pass. The Peak of Permafrost, the highest point in the world where the air breathes like diamonds. As Barnaby begins to fade and the cold grows heavier, Leonard realizes that saving the world requires more than just courage, it requires the willingness to embrace change. The Unmelting Snowman and the Winter's Heart is a whimsical and sensory-rich adventure for middle-grade listeners. It is a story about the warmth of friendship, the beauty of the changing seasons, and the brave choice to let go so that something new can bloom.
