Αν καμιά χειμωνιάτικη νύχτα, την ώρα που κοιτάς απ' το θαμπό τζάμι του παράθυρου, δεις ένα χιονάνθρωπο να στρίβει τη γωνιά του δρόμου, μπορεί να κάνεις λάθος, μπορεί να μην είδες καλά, αλλά πάλι - ποιος ξέρει - μπορεί να είδες ένα χιονάνθρωπο που πηγαίνει στο Βόρειο Πόλο...
Η ιστορία που θα διαβάσεις είναι η ιστορία ενός χιονάνθρωπου και ενός κοριτσιού. Ενός κοριτσιού που έφτιαξε ένα χιονάνθρωπο και του ζήτησε να μη λιώσει ποτέ. Ενός χιονάνθρωπου που ξεκίνησε να πάει στο Βόρειο Πόλο.
Είναι η ιστορία όλων των κοριτσιών που φτιάχνουν ένα χιονάνθρωπο, όλων των χιονάνθρωπων που ξεκινάνε κάποιο πρωί για το μακρινό ταξίδι, το ταξίδι για το Βόρειο Πόλο...
