The root children - poppies, bluebells and snowdrops - are awoken by Mother Nature in spring and play through the year. Board book adaptation of the classic The Story of the Root Children with all of Sibylle von Olfers's original art-nouveau illustrations
The root children had been asleep all winter. "Wake up!" called Mother Earth. "Spring is coming!" The children yawned and then jumped up merrily, ready to play in the spring sunshine. Based on Sibylle von Olfers' classic tale, The Story of the Root Children, this book is perfect for little hands.
