Six classic picture books by the illustrator of the Root Children in one volume – suitable for reading aloud to children aged 3 and up. It is an eternal cycle in nature: At the beginning of the year, Mother Earth awakens her little Root Children, colorful dresses are sewn, and the beetles are freshly painted, and then spring finally arrives! Joyfully, the Root Children venture into the world with colorful flowers and grasses. In the stories "Little Wind" and "Marilenchen," autumn and winter are enchantingly depicted. With beautiful Art Nouveau illustrations, the book becomes a wonderful companion through the seasons. The lovingly illustrated flowers and Root Children by artist Sibylle von Olfers (1881-1916) make the recurring processes of nature understandable even for the youngest. A nostalgic gift for all Root Children fans! The stories included are: A Little About the Root Children, Mummelchen and Pummelchen, The Little Princess in the Woods, Butze-Butze-Boy, Little Wind, What Marilenchen Experienced.
