About This Book
The soft crunch of pine needles blankets the forest floor as Elisabeth, wrapped in her bright red cloak, steps carefully between towering trees and blooming wildflowers. The sweet scent of mushrooms and pine fills the air, but a shadow lurks nearby—a sly wolf with a cunning plan. As the woods grow quiet, Elisabeth’s journey feels both magical and a little scary, stirring feelings she can't quite explain.
