The movie is based on the book First Snow in the Woods http://www.strangerinthewoods.com/shop/first/first.htm , recipient of 16 awards including the coveted Mom’s Choice Award. In the movie, children (and adults) learn that change can be a good thing.

The third DVD in the couple’s “In the Woods” series, First Snow in the Woods: The Movie takes viewers on a beautiful journey through the autumn reds and golds as they follow the plight of a scarecrow who’s afraid of winter. The scarecrow regains his confidence to trust the changing seasons learning from a little mouse and the animals of the forest who are busy preparing for the year’s first winter storm. Stunning wildlife footage and toe-tapping original music make this a hilarious and heartwarming tale.
