Considered the hardiest of the genus Brahea, this rare endemic palm hails from the alkaline Sierra Madre Orientale Mountains in northeastern Mexico where it's endangered thanks to the abundance of hungry goats. Brahea decumbens is ridiculously slow growing and any nurseryman who even tries to grow it commercially needs his head examined. Eventually, the immature green leaves turn a beautiful silvery grey and adorn the 6' tall x 10' wide specimen that, with age, develops creeping (decumbent) trunks...much like a blue-leaf Serenoa repens. Our first specimen died at 9 degrees, so we're thinking it should be winter hardy to Zone 8b/9a if grown in a site that provides dry winter conditions. We have only a few to share.Shipping Notes

Enchanting, imaginative sibling story
Format: Hardcover
"Frostfire" is an enchanting, cozy story about sibling bonds and a hopeful search for magic. Sister foxes Celeste and Miriam are out for a walk in a silvery wonderland of snow. Suddenly, they hear a deep grumble. "That was the roar of a snow dragon," the elder sister imparts. Playfully and warmly, they banter about the mystical beasts as they slide and skate through the icy terrain. The soft glow on each page completely captivates, drawing readers closer and building anticipation. Will they at last glimpse the snow dragon? "Frostfire" is original and familiar all at once - a true treasure.

Infinite Stars, Gorgeous Book For Kids
Format: Kindle
Frostfire is a cozy whimsical book that showcases the pure imagination and creativity of a child, something that is often lost in our world of technology. Two sisters, Celeste and Miriam, go for a snowy winter walk and Miriam shares all of her knowledge about snow dragons. This topic alone will have your child buzzing with questions and theories of their own. Celeste is such a positive big sister, never minimizing her little sister’s imagination or doubting her facts of snow dragons. I really enjoyed the sisterly bond throughout this book and the patience of siblings shown.
The illustrations in this book are stunningly beautiful me bring another whimsical element to the story.
From the way the light hits the snow or fades in from the side of the page, to the frost layers on the greenhouse and the silvery snow bushes. Obviously there was a lot of time spent in the illustrations with great attention to detail, which really brings this book to life. I would purchase this book again and again, it would be the perfect Christmas gift for a child.

Beautiful Winter Fantasy
Format: Hardcover
I have enjoyed Elly Mackay's illustrations in other books, so when I saw that she was the author and illustrator of a new book, I had to request it from Net Galley. It's a wonderful treat made of words, art, and imagination. The story opens with two sisters, walking in a winter landscape. The older sister is telling the younger about the snow dragon, hoping to scare her a little, I think. But the younger sister is not willing to be cowed and sets off to explore. What will she find in the snowy landscape? This is a great book for snuggling or for a storytime gathering. I love winter and Elly MacKay has captured the beauty and wonder of it in Frostfire.

A must buy for the littles this winter.
Format: Kindle
Frostfire is a must buy for the littles this winter. I read through it once myself and absolutely loved the story and especially the illustrations. A very classic, winter whimsy.
The second time I read Frostfire was with my 3 and 5 year olds. They also enjoyed it and had quite the debate over whether the snow dragon would be real. The 3 year old won!
Looking forward to this book's release and coming across some frostfire in the real world this winter.
Thanks to Penguin Random House Canada, Tundra Books and NetGalley for the eARC!
