Synopsis "Jack Frost (The Guardians of Childhood) "

Discover how Jack Frost keeps the hearts of children happy in the third picture book in Academy Award winner William Joyce's New York Times bestselling and "dazzlingly inventive" (Publishers Weekly) The Guardians of Childhood series. Before Jack Frost was Jack Frost, he was Nightlight, the most trusted and valiant companion of Mim, the Man in the Moon. But when Pitch destroys Mim's world, he nearly destroys Nightlight too, sending him plunging to Earth where, like Peter Pan, he is destined to remain forever a boy, frozen in time. And while Nightlight has fun sailing icy winds and surfing clouds, he is also lonely without his friend Mim. To keep the cold in his heart from taking over, he spreads it to the landscapes around him and earns a new name: Jack Overland Frost. But a true friend always comes through, and on one particularly bleak night, Mim shines down and shows Jack a group of children in great peril. Through helping them, Jack finds the warmth he's been yearning for, and realizes bringing joy to others can melt his own chill. It is this realization--that there will always be children who need moments of bravery, who need rosy cheeks, who need to build snowmen, and who are then eager for a spring day--that makes Jack realize why he is a forever boy, and worthy of becoming a Guardian of Childhood.

William Joyce has left his personal mark on all kinds of works for children, both literary and cinematic. Among his illustrated albums are bestsellers such as: George Shrinks, Santa Calls, Dinosaur Bob and his Adventures with the Family Lazardo, The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs, A Day with Wilbur Robinson, Bently & Egg, and the Rolie Polie Olie series, which became a popular children's TV show that earned him no less than three Emmy Awards

However, Joyce is not just a recognized figure in the world of children's cinema and literature. His illustrations have frequently graced the cover of The New York Times, and his paintings are displayed in museums and art galleries across the United States. Hailed by Newsweek magazine as one of the hundred people to watch in the new millennium, his striking and unique stories and illustrations transport us to worlds full of fun, adventure, and fantasy

Moreover, William Joyce has lent his creative talent to several films, creating characters as famous as those in Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Robots. In 2012 Joyce won an Oscar for the animated short film The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, and has ventured into the digital interactive realm with the spectacular app based on this short film
