5 Nourishing Tales for Children

By Helen Hansen

Take a journey with Mother Nature and her children to explore the forest and all the creatures in it. Meet Lolo the shongololo and find out how she helps her neighbors manage their mess. Mr. Low, the old toad, lives down by the pond, but oh dear, he has a cold and has lost his croak. Will he be able to perform in the concert tonight? And what about Cupcake the fairy? Will she ever be able to bake a tasty cake?

Meanwhile, just outside the forest, there lives a boy, David, who loves to swing on a rope under the tree in his black garden. Join him and his friends Mila and Sebastian as they learn a lesson about sharing.
