A tiny, gentle troll with a long white beard, the Tomten is the secret guardian of the farm. While the human family sleeps, he slips silently through the shadows to visit the cows, the sheep, the horses, and the dog. In his special, quiet Tomten language, he whispers comforting words to the shivering animals, reminding them that the freezing winter will eventually pass and the warm green summer will return.
This beautifully illustrated classic is a peaceful, heartwarming tale about care, patience, and the hidden magic that watches over us in the darkest, coldest nights.
