Audrey Wood 's award winning books have tickled the fancy of young readers for over twenty years. She has written such classics as THE NAPPING HOUSE, and Caldecott Honor Book, KING BIDGOOD'S IN THE BATHTUB. And now she tips her hat to the forces of nature in this glorious retelling of Sibylle von Olfers' 1906 classic.
"It was the spiritual elements in the story of the Root Children that inspired my retelling," Ms. Wood says. "Flowers bloom, fade, and return to the earth to be reborn again, and this pattern of change in nature brings hope and provides a comforting allegory for both children and adults."
