Bookroo's summary

In the northern woods, a young girl faces a deadly disease threatening her people. Guided by the whispers of snow and the dance of northern lights, her courage transforms loss into beauty, giving rise to the lady slipper flower. Can her bravery change fate and save her family?

From the publisher

The lady slipper grows in the northern woods to mark the courage and strength of a small girl who lived there long ago - a girl who saved her people from a terrible disease by listening carefully to the whispering snow, the rumbling ice, and the dancing northern lights. Illustrated with paintings as graceful and delicate as the lady slipper itself, this unforgettable retelling shows how a child’s lost slippers became one of nature’s most lovely spring flowers.
