Talia is the queen of recess.

She’s known for epic games, wild ideas, and turning any playtime into an unforgettable event. But when the playground freezes over—slide, swings, and all—Talia’s plans shatter like icicles.

In a whirlwind of hairdryers, mitten mountains, and one too-curious kindergartener named Otis, the kids try everything to unfreeze their favorite space. But it’s not until a quiet voice offers a new idea that Talia learns the power of letting go and building something even better from the chill.
