Cover may not depict edition offered for sale

available COPIES

 

About this title: As Spring approaches, Mother Earth wakes her sleepy children, deep below the earth, the children yawn and stretch. Soon their hands are busy, stitching new clothes in bright spring colours. The dust of the bumblebees, scrub the beetles and paint splendid new coats on the ladybirds. The children jubilantly emerge from the earth where they become the flowers of Spring. In rhyming verse and vibrant illustrations, this entrancing story touches on such themes as the rejuvenation and passing of the seasons, helping children understand the circle of life.

"Genre: Fairy Tale

This is an incredible book mainly for its art work. It is all done in quilting and the detail is amazing. It is absolutely stunning. The story is about Mother Earth's little cherubs who help with the work to get summer going: like painting the beetles and brushing the bees. The story is told in verse and is simple and childlike and matches the artwork beautifully."

A Quilted Fairy Tale, Apr 9, 2009
By czarina, San Francisco & CapeCod

"This is a wonderful German children's story that would be wonderful read to a small child. But it is also a book for any adult who quilts or embroiders as the illustration are taken from the award winning quilt made by the illustrator. At any rate it would make a lovely gift, but you might find you want to get your own copy also."
