Eight-year-old Mayken is a peasant girl who works in her mother's guesthouse.

One wintry day she goes ice-skating with some friends and finds an injured bird.

Bright watercolours help narrate Mayken's story, which concludes with a stunning reproduction of Breugel's masterpiece.

Young readers will learn about Breugel and his art as they cheer Mayken on and enter a world of snow, trees, and the simple beauty of a winter's day.
