Little Beth of the Forest

Winner of the 2015 Oregon Cascade Writers Award. Little Beth of the Forest will engage readers of all ages! Excitement fills the air when Little Beth goes on a winter’s night adventure with her new best friend Orie at her side. Beautiful full-color artwork by Cheri Turk enhances this fun filled and warm-hearted Christmas story. While Little Beth is walking home through the forest, she is taken tumbling down the snowy path by a playful little wolf cub named Orie. Landing in a big pile of snow an instant friendship is formed. Later that night, Orie comes to her window with his forest friends and introduces her to a big white bear named Blue Bear. Climbing on his back and with Orie at her side, they start out on a Christmas adventure through the beautiful night snow. Stopping when they come to an open field, they see in the distance, a mighty Stag with shimmering golden antlers. Approaching slowly the mighty Stag invites Little Beth to climb on his back, and in one giant leap he takes her soaring high into the night sky. With a magnificent swoop and glorious swagger the mighty stag lands at the top of the snow covered mountain to see an amazing site!
