SOLVED. children's picture book, girl with red coat walking in snow [s]

[Emma]

Hi, this is a book I used to love in Primary school, it was mainly pictures which may have looked like a cut out paper kind of style. A little girl puts a coat on (red, i think) and goes walking through some woods & hills. There's snow everywhere, then I think she goes home. Very basic reading level, I just want to see those pictures again! Thanks for any info :)

Is it possibly Ezra Jack Keats' A Snowy Day? No woods that I remember, and it's a boy, not a girl, but the red coat is there.

I am also thinking that it's The Snowy Day. It definitely has the cut-out paper style images and I seem to recall woods, but it might just have been buildings.

Here's the cover:

The mitten? Not the Jan Brett version, the older edition has a little girl walking in the woods, drops a mitten, various animals make it their home. She wears a red cloak in the older version.

to clarify, I assume you mean:The Mitten: An Old Ukrainian Folktale

I seem to remember an even older one, but I can't find it by briefly searching.

This is less likely, but just a suggestion:

That's it, A Snowy Day! Thankyou so much, that's bothered me for years! Brillaint, thanks everyone :)
