Irene, the daughter of a seamstress, faces a great mission: to deliver a dress to the duchess. Despite the storm and the relentless wind that try to scare her, Irene ventures into the forest. Her tears freeze, she sinks into the snow, and night falls on her. Irene is in danger! She is a small girl, but she knows that the smaller you are, the braver you must be to achieve great things. This modern fairy tale presents a heroine who is not a princess, but a humble girl, demonstrating that courage can be found in the most unexpected places.
William Steig was an American cartoonist, illustrator, and children's book author best known for his picture book Shrek!, which inspired the film series of the same name. Steig was a prolific contributor of both cartoons and cover illustrations for The New Yorker magazine, and he developed a style of less humorous line drawings that became common on greeting cards as well as in his several published collections.
