Stranger in the Woods
by Carl R. Sams II & Jean Stoick

The winter storm has ended, and the entire forest is wearing a coat of glistening white. As the animals come out of their shelter at daybreak, they discover there is something – or someone – new in the forest. Who is this stranger in the woods, and what wonderful surprises does he bring?

Readers of all ages will love this fantasy, which combines stunning photographs of woodland creatures in an enchanting winter setting with a light, lyrical text.
