Winter in the Woods (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992807844)

A sudden slip changes everything.

When his brother falls down a steep, icy slope deep in the winter woods, Eli is left standing at the top, unsure and afraid, with no one else to step in. What follows is not a dramatic rescue, but a quiet, steady effort as Eli finds his footing, moves forward, and helps guide his sibling back to safety.

Winter in the Woods is a lyrical rhyming picture book that explores resilience, responsibility, and the subtle moments that shape a child's sense of self. Without spectacle or praise, the story captures a kind of growth that unfolds quietly through action, persistence, and trust in one's own ability.

Ideal for children ages 3 to 9, this book will resonate with families, educators, and librarians who value stories centered on independence, sibling relationships, and real-world emotional development.

Part of the Wild Roots series, where children explore and grow in the natural places that shape them most. Big things happen in wild places.
