The Story of the Root Children Mini
'The Story of the Root Children' by Sibylle von Olfers
This hard covered beautifully illustrated very popular story tells how the root children
spend the winter asleep deep underground under the care of their wise Mother.
When spring comes they wake up, sew new gowns and capes, clean and paint the beetles and
bugs, and go forth into the world. After playing in the fields, on the ponds and in the meadows all summer,
in autumn they return once more to Mother Earth, who welcomes them back into their home underground.
