A collection of classic and modern Hungarian children’s poems about winter, the cold, snow, Santa and Christmas, building snowmen and skiing, and how wonderful it is to feel the chill outside and warm up inside.

Jacqueline Molnár’s illustrations are nostalgic on the one hand, evoking the visual world characteristic of the 1970s and 1980s—yet they are very much of today, in that they confront us with the reality of climate change. A girl in a bikini on the ice rink, a polar bear in sunglasses on melting ice floes, Inuits eating ice cream in the blazing sun—though these images obviously thrive on the rhetoric of exaggeration, and are funny precisely because of that, what they warn us about is very serious: we must take climate change seriously if we want our children and our children’s children to understand these winter poems.
In 2026, the book was shortlisted for the Bologna Ragazzi Awards, and the illustrator, Jacqueline Molnár, participated in the panel discussion titled “Pictures and Poetry – Illustrating Poetry” in Bologna.

Jacqueline Molnár received the HUBBY Lifetime Achievement Award in 2026.
