This book has offered me an opportunity to put a few basic principles of life into simpler terms so that the very young can understand them. It has also given me the chance to use my imagination just a bit to add a little color to the circle of life. From an early age, I was a thinker. I would spend many hours twisting and turning things in my mind. My third grade teacher would sometimes read my stories in class and that was my favorite time in school.

Here, a girl is not supposed to be a woodcutter. Or be brave enough to walk alone. Here, a wolf is not supposed to love to read. Or be curious enough to meet a human.

All she needs is a girl from the village, a wolf from the forest, and a woodcutter with a nice, sharp axe. So take care, little lambs, if you step into these woods. For in the Puszcza, it is always as dark as the hour between night and dawn - the time old folk call the Wolf Hour.
