Ballet Bunny watches the snow fall from under her cozy pine tree. When a bunch of snow blocks her view of the forest, the little bunny has a creative solution.

Frosty Forest Excerpt:
All was quiet as the large fluffy flakes fell from the sky. Ballet bunny peeked out from under the wide pine tree branches to watch. She took a deep dragon breath, in and out, enjoying the beautiful sight. As she watched the snow fall, a big fluffy flake landed on her nose. Ballet held still as she admired the delicate design slowly melting away with the warmth of her breath. Before long, the snowflake became a puddle. At least, she had been able to see the artwork for a moment.
