Jack and Children[]
This segment shows Jack Frost interacting with children and bringing snow to them. We then see a similar sequence from the film, where a lonely Jack follows one of the children home and watches with longing as the family get ready for bed.
Guardians[]
Belief vs. Fear[]
Another set of illustrations show the children losing belief as fear grows stronger. When Pitch's Nightmare Men attack, each of the Guardians finds some way to make the children believe and encourage them to fight back.
