I think the best part about this is the fact that you made it with your sister!! We need more girls involved in our hobby so all credit to her for taking such an active role in this project.

I think the one thing you could do to really enhance the diorama is to use some textures on the ground such as 'flocking' and 'lichen' to simulate grasses and bushes. Have a look at the railway modell suppliers for these.

The road could be taken to a whole new level by using fine gravel as a surface. Simply paint on a coat of PVA glue and sprinkle some fine gravel or sand onto it. When the glue has dried shake the excess off and you will have a very much more realistic finish.

Playing around with a few simple texturers such as these will enhance your model tremendously.

Apart from that I think the setting and composition is excellent.
