About This Book

The narrative follows tiny root-dwelling children who sleep through winter and awaken to prepare for spring, sewing flower-and-leaf garments and helping plants and insects emerge. Lyrical verses and evocative illustrations trace a year in nature, showing blossoms, meadows, woodland scenes, and playful exchanges among flora and fauna. As the seasons progress the community celebrates growth and then retreats with autumn storms, returning to the earth to sleep until the cycle begins again.
