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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Joyce does a lot of stuff but children's books are his true bailiwick (The Guardians series, Dinosaur Bob series, \u003ci\u003eGeorge \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eShrinks\u003c\/i\u003e, and the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling \u003ci\u003eThe Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore\u003c\/i\u003e, which is also his Academy Award-winning short film, to name a few).
