A little boy's grandmother, or Baba in Ukrainian, knits him some snow-white mittens, even though she warns little Nicki that white will blend in with the snow and be hard to find. And its not long before he does lose one of them and it becomes a snuggly home for a critter, or eight! Nicki must find his mitten before he goes home, or before all the animals in the forest claim it.
