First published in 1906, The Story of the Root Children has enchanted generations with its gentle celebration of the seasons. Deep underground, the Root Children sleep through the winter. When spring arrives, they awaken, sew new clothes, and journey into the world above to tend flowers, play in summer meadows, and gather fruits in autumn before returning to their cozy home.
This mini edition preserves Sibylle von Olfers’ original artwork and poetic text in a smaller, portable format—perfect for little hands or on-the-go storytimes. A timeless Waldorf favorite that captures the rhythm and beauty of nature’s year.
