Book Cover & Preview Text
The flowers lift their heads as the sun makes its rise. The owl hoot-hoots before closing his eyes.
The great stag stands tall on the path just ahead. We count 12 points on his antlers. How does he go to bed?
A family of turkeys, one gobbler, three hens. They hear us and scatter. Don't they want to be friends?
Tomorrow, we'll go back to see what has bloomed. And, meet new friends in the wood, that live beyond your room.
