About: A little girl walks from her home to the bus stop, through the woods, in the dark early morning of winter.
Thoughts: I like the leisurely pace of this story, even though she is rushing to the bus, we get the chance to see so much on the way. I love the old fashioned flavour of the illustrations and the use of white space in them.

I also love this book because it reminded me a little of when I used to walk to and from the bus in the woods in the dark, or even to my Aunt and Uncle's who lived next door. I would get spooked by the dark thinking a bear was just beyond my sight. So my mom told me to sing out loud and it would scare anything away (I still tend to hum when I'm nervous). So I was pretty pleased to see the author actually grew up in Peace Country, same as me!
