    About this ebook

    Ona is left at home to take care of her brother while her father goes off to sell his wares at the market. Her father does not return that day or the next or the next. An owl stops to listen as Ona sings a lullaby. He responds with a mysterious song of his own that gives Ona a clue to her father's whereabouts. She set off with her brother into the dark forest and is soon lost and afraid.

    I've always been a reader--loved fairy tales when I was young. I started writing when I had children of my own. My husband, Bob Maske, does all the art work for my stories. He did all the book covers and the animations that accompany each story.I try to keep at least half of my stories and books free and would love to receive feedback from my readers. You can contact me at bbmask@starstream.net or at doryleemaske@gmail.com Thanks to all you readers out there for your support.
