The Flowers' Festival
By Elsa Beskow
Hardcover (laminated), 32 pages
On the eve of Midsummer, Lisa is sitting on her Grandmother's porch when she receives a special invitation from the Midsummer Fairy to join a party in the flower garden. There she is greeted by a parade of flower and garden folk to hear stories, feast on refreshments and sing songs. The illustrations are simply wonderful! You really get a sense of each plant's unique characteristics by reading the story and searching for the details in the colorful drawings. I think our favorite is the story about Mrs. Chestnut and her sons, all of them brave young knights and soldiers. Every time I see the prickly armor of a chestnut, I can't help but be reminded of this sweet and innocent story! Recommended for ages 4-10.

Needle Felting by Hand or Machine
By Linda Turner Griepentrog and Pauline Wilde Richards
Paperback, 126 pages
This book contains 15 easy, but very creative projects that can be done by hand or with a felting machine. (A felting machine looks similar to a sewing machine, but has 5-8 felting needles instead of a sewing needle.) Some of my favorite projects are needle felted buttons (that incorporate a button form) that can be used as buttons or to create jewelry, an adorable “Sheep Thrills” throw blanket decoration that combines needle felting with a simple sewing machine technique that adds texture and dimension, and a beautiful handbag that begins with tapestry fabric and is highlighted with needle felting to “color inside the lines.” The valuable lessons to be learned from this book are the exciting and different combinations of needle felting and simple sewing to create a distinctive and truly unique look to your projects! Not only needle felters, but also sewers will enjoy this book.

Mother Earth & Her Children: A Quilted Fairy Tale
Story by Sibylle Von Olfers, Translation by Jack Zipes
Illustrations by Sieglinde Schoen Smith
Hardcover, 32 pages
The illustrations in this newly released edition of Von Olfers Story of the Root Children are amazing because they are detailed enlargements of a real quilt! The award-winning quilt was stitched and embroidered by hand and took one year to complete. It is truly a fascinating work of art and beautifully illustrates the joyful children’s classic about the coming of spring and changing seasons. The story is complete, but it is not a word-for-word translation of the original. Instead it is a simpler, paraphrased version that is perfect for the younger child. Recommended for ages 2-8.

By Sibylle von Olfers

One summer morning, the hunter’s wife went to the woods to pick mushrooms. She took her two sleeping children, Lucy and John. She left them to nap in the shade, but as soon as their mother’s back was turned, they awoke and crawled out of their cradle and looked around with curiosity. Along came Mother Rabbit, who was surprised to see them all alone in the woods. Out of kindness, she took them to her home to care for them. Thus begins this gentle adventure of John and Lucy as they spend the night in the woods with the Rabbit family, play and interact with the rabbit children and learn the rabbit ways. With the help of the hunter’s faithful dog, the children are soon found and joyfully reunited with their parents. This classic children story is being reprinted for the first time since its original publication in 1906. Recommended for ages 3 and up.

The Winter Book: Songs, Chants & Stories for
the Yuletide Season
By Claudia Chapman
Paperback, 108 pages
The author invites us to "take part in the time honored Celtic tradition of telling stories and sharing songs as the nights grow long with winter." This collection of stories, songs and essays is arranged as an advent calendar, with something new to read each day. Interspersed between the readings are ten beautiful new Yuletide carols, written in the language of nature. Filled with spirit, yet still universal, they are suitable for sharing at Winter Concerts, Solstice Celebrations or on Christmas Eve. But this is more than just a book for the Advent season. The calendar of days begins with October 31st (the Celtic New Year) and includes All Souls Day, Martinmas (Nov. 11) and Thanksgiving readings before launching into the traditional Yuletide season from December 1st through 26th. There are special animal stories for Christmas Eve and a Mummers play for New Year's Day. The calendar ends on Epiphany (Jan. 6) with a poem about a mystical journey by the stag, the eagle and the salmon. Included are drawings the author created for her son's advent calendar and directions for starting your own family tradition. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this engaging book. I’m sure you will agree, it will add a touch of beauty and joy to the season and, like me, you will look forward to the daily readings as the season progresses!

NOTE: Although this book is designed for the family, it is not written strictly for children. A couple of the daily reflections are definitely from a parent's perspective, in which the author recalls what it was like when her child discovered that parents are Santa. (Dec. 15th & 17th readings). Please be aware and do not read these sections aloud to your young child, so as not to reveal any secrets they may not be ready to hear.
