The second book I got is called:
"Mother's love"
The first one is here: "A sweet and sour summer"
It's clearly a pre-F2 story. It starts to introduce the idea that Elsa could have problems with her powers and that the solution is in the relationship with her mother.
Mother's love
In the kingdom of Arendelle, Elsa let out a sigh.
For hours, she had tried to use her magic to create an ice flower garden for Olaf. But each attempt produced something completely different.
"I'm sorry, Olaf, I can't make ice flowers today," said Elsa.
"Are you okay?" asked Olaf.
Elsa felt fine, but her icy powers weren't working the way she used to. And she couldn't figure out why
"It doesn't matter," said Anna, giving her sister an encouraging smile. "We can go ice skating instead!"
But Elsa had no desire to skate on the ice ring she had accidentally created
Later that day, Elsa paced restlessly in the library. "I think I know what you need right now," said Anna.
She picked up a photo album and pointed to a picture of her mother. "What would Mom advise you to do now?"
Elsa looked at the photo of her mother wearing a necklace with an emerald. She wanted to believe that her mother could help her. But how?
Suddenly, Olaf burst into the library with a letter.
"News!"
Anna gasped as she read it. "It says there's trouble in the town of Arctic Bay!"
"Oh no!" cried Elsa.
"The warm weather has melted all the ice," explained Anna. "And in a few days, their annual Ice Festival is supposed to take place."
"Elsa, you have to help them!" cried Olaf
"How am I supposed to do this when my powers don't obey me?" Elsa asked, looking at the frozen album in her hands.
"Your magic isn't gone, though," Olaf said.
"Exactly," Anna said. "What did Mom teach us?"
"To believe that the impossible is possible?" Olaf asked.
Anna smiled. "Mom said that when you help others, you also help yourself."
Elsa knew her sister was right and agreed
Shortly after, they had packed everything up and followed the winding road to Arctic Bay.
Olaf told jokes on the journey. "What goes up but never comes down? Your old man!" he shouted without waiting for an answer.
Anna laughed. But as they got closer to the city, Elsa's thoughts turned to her powers
Sorry Olaf's joke is lost in translation
In Arctic Bay, the three were greeted by the mayor and shown around. "Everything has melted away. We need your help."
Elsa was dismayed.
"Don't worry," Anna said quietly, as if she could read her sister's thoughts. "We're on your side."
"When do we start?" asked Olaf
"Now," said Elsa.
Although she was exhausted from the long journey, she created ice and snow all day long. She tried not to think about what exactly she was creating. This time, it didn't matter—the city simply needed ice. As the sun set, a new, icy glow hung over the city
"You've created something wonderful!" praised the mayor.
"I didn't do it alone." Elsa smiled at her sister and Olaf.
The residents cheered enthusiastically, even though their town wasn't completely covered in ice yet. Elsa knew they needed more ice for the festival. At that moment, Olaf dropped the photo of her mother
Anna picked it up and said, "Look, Elsa! The mayor's necklace looks just like Mom's."
Elsa looked at the photo.
The mayor took off her necklace and placed it around Elsa's neck. "Your mother was a very good friend," she said.
"Iduna wanted me to give you this necklace when the moment was right."
As Elsa's fingers touched the gem on the necklace, she felt a flood of emotions. She felt her mother's love and the strength of her own powers. Suddenly, Elsa's fear gave way to courage. Elsa twisted her hands in the air, transforming the city into a winter wonderland of ice and snow!
Elsa was amazed that her magic was working as it should again. The mayor thanked her profusely.
Anna cried, "I knew you could do it, Elsa!"
Elsa stroked the gem. "Thank you, Mom," she whispered
"I just had to remember where my true power comes from."
The next day's ice festival was a complete success. She smiled.
"Come on, let's go ice skating!" said Anna
As Elsa glided across the ice, she thought of Anna's words: When you help others, you also help yourself. Helping the townspeople with her powers had solved the problem. And the best part was, Olaf had been right, too: As hard as it sometimes was to believe, what seemed impossible could actually come true.
