Book Sharing Monday.







Our book choice this week is a wonderful fairy tale.


Mother Earth And Her Children. A quilted fairy tale.


By Sibylle Von Olfers.


Mother earths children, who have been sleeping all winter awake and experience the new life, the colour, and the joys of spring.


The gorgeous illustrations in the book are actually photographs of the 'quilted fairy tale'.


''Deep in the woods


All cloaked in green


Flowers blossom.


What a wondrous scene!




A violet hides


Behind a tree,


Scared by a snail, So strange to see.




Beside the brook


Those earthly tots


Skip among


Forget-me-nots.




This is one of a few books by sibylle von olfers, they are just beautiful fairy stories that charlie asks me to read again and again :)
