Children of the Forest

written and illustrated by Elsa Beskow

Elsa Meskow’s charming picture books for children have been known and loved for over a century. In Children of the Forest, she tells of children who live deep in the roots of an old pine tree. They collect wild mushrooms and blueberries and shelter under toadstools when it rains. They play with the squirrels and frogs, and when autumn comes, they collect and prepare food to see them through the long winter, until the warm spring breeze starts to blow. Wonderfully combining fantasy with a deep appreciation of the beauty of the forest, this book will delight children ages 4 and up.
