A Flower Book

At midnight, while winter holds the streams fast in their icy beds, a fairy queen knocks on an elder tree—and white blossoms rain down upon the snow. Rusialka has come to ask permission to wake the flowers.

On the first night of the New Year, beneath a moonlit sky, fairies gather in a quiet wood where every flower sleeps under its own coverlet of snow. With Lady Elder’s leave, Rusialka calls the blossoms to join a dance before dawn sends them back to sleep. But each flower arrives with a message of its own: the Snowdrop brings hope, the Violet speaks of faithfulness, and the bold Poppy offers consolation. Their gathering turns into a charming parade of friendship, love, sorrow, and magic, told in a gentle, lyrical voice for young readers. What will the flowers reveal before the winter night is over?
