At first glance, Kelda is no different from her classmates. Except, perhaps, for her very light hair and pale skin. What also surprises the residents of her northern town is that not a single tear has ever rolled from the icy blue eyes of this diligent and obedient girl, and if you touch her, you actually feel cold. Her classmates tease her and constantly try to see what will happen if the "icicle" ends up near a spring bonfire. The girl is particularly bothered by the annoying redhead Thomas. One day, Kelda realizes that things cannot go on like this anymore. And she sets off on a dangerous journey—in search of a warm heart and her own laughter, as she also has no idea how to laugh. Kelda faces a ride on a polar whale, a meeting with a mermaid, a descent into the depths of the sea, and a search for the Sunken Island... But it seems someone has decided to disrupt her bold plans... Psychologist and writer Yulia Danilenko knows exactly what it is like to be an icy girl who can neither cry nor laugh. And she knows just as precisely how to make a heart alive and warm, and a girl—real. Artist Anastasia Sikilinda perfectly captured the atmosphere of the fairy tale: her expressive graphics highlight the unique character of the personalities. For primary and middle school age children.
