The Story of the Root Children

''A celebration of the wonders that spring and summer offer each year.''
-- New York Botanical Garden

''Nothing could date this stunningly illustrated century-old book telling the story of the seasons ... Children are enchanted by images like the root children painting a line of ladybirds with pots of red and black paint. Sibylle von Olfers'' careful drawings depict Nature scenes halfway between imagination and reality.''
-- Juno Magazine, Top Ten Children''s Books

All through the winter the Root Children are asleep underground, but when spring comes Mother Nature wakes them up. Then the Root Children are busy cleaning and painting the beetles and bugs.
