Recently I completed a playset that was inspired by Sibylle von Olfers book, The Story of the Root Children.

It's a charming story that features Mother Earth awakening the Root Children. They get cleaned up and dressed and "become" flowers and grasses. The story begins at the end of Winter and we watch as the season changes into Spring.
This is the illustration that was the basis of inspiration for my latest needle felted playset.

On a related note, how cute are those blueberry boys! This is taken from Elsa Beskow's book, Peter in Blueberry Land.
