All through winter the root children sleep underground. When spring
comes Mother Nature wakes them up, and they get ready to go outside into
the sunshine with the beetles, bees and ladybirds. They play in the
forest with the butterflies. In summer they dance in the meadow and by
the stream. When Fall comes and the cold wind starts to blow, Mother
Earth calls them back underground to go to sleep for the winter.
The classic, seasonal Story of the Root Children is presented for the
first time as a board book for very young children. While the overall
story remains the same, the language has been simplified. All of the
beautiful original illustrations are included, with some sympathetically
adapted to fit the new format.
