Kids Book Recs for Nature Spirits?
« on: January 23, 2017, 04:09:30 am »
So this morning I got asked by a non-pagan friend if I could recommend any books for her or her three/four year old who has stated that the trees talk to her. All of my kid book recs are mythology so I'm having a hard time thinking of suggestions. I'd appreciate any if you've got 'em!

Not exactly sure what you're looking for. Something like this, perhaps?

This might seem a bit strange as a recommendation but I'd say the Flower Fairies series by Cicely Mary Barker. I realise that people spend quite a lot of time saying 'fairies aren't like these winged tiny plant people they're actually scary', but really, this type of fairy is a myth of its own and as a child I was really taken by the idea of different plants having a fairy. The pictures are really nice to look at and they all have different short poems themed on the flower going with them.

I'd second this, I have really fond and magical memories of the Flower Fairies as a small child.
