Little Gnome is spending a quiet day in the autumn forest, amongst the rusted and coppery leaves, twittering birdsong, and bright red hawthorn berries. She begins to feel rather lonely and small in this lovely but large hollow, and decides to ask the leaves, berries, and trees around her a question: Do you ever get lonely, too? Little Gnome's curiosity takes her on a journey of not only meeting new forest friends and understanding the purposes of nature more fully, but also of finding contentment and her place among the interconnectedness of nature and the world... which is not so very large and lonely, after all. Rooted is a beautiful, nature-based story perfect for lulling little ones into a quiet slumber. The first book in the Hearth Tales series of stories, Rooted is based upon the storytelling framework of Rudolph Steiner's Waldorf educational philosophy, in that natural and magical elements are used in a positive way so as to encourage the imagination of minds in early development. With calming, hand-painted watercolor illustrations, children ages 7-10 will feel gently guided to recognize their importance in the beautiful cycles of nature.
