One day, a little girl goes into the woods on a snowy day. She is confronted with being lost and slowly wittles away. She is rescued by an unlikely figure who is hated by the village that the little girl lives in. After being saved, the figure takes the little girl home and faces the hatred from the villagers. What starts as being hated, ends up the opposite all with the voice of one special little girl and her new friend. Together, they changed a whole villages' minds about the figures lineage. One voice, one little girl, can equal acceptance. Enjoy this story with your babies and inspire them!
