Farm Tales

The Silver Seed

by Mirandès · A picture book from age 3

Five sisters. One silver seed that has slept for forty years. And one very small lamb who needs them more than any seed ever could. When Mira's eager hands send the seed rolling under a bush, the sisters find a gnome called Chip behind a tiny green door, and learn that some things only grow where something small is cared for, and that nobody grows anything alone. A gentle farm story about patience, kindness and the smallest things. By Mirandès.

for Mini, Yola, Rizen, Ines and Mira

Die Silwersaadjie

deur Mirandès · ’n Prenteboek vir 3 jaar en ouer

Vyf sussies. Een silwer saadjie wat al veertig jaar slaap. En een baie klein lammetjie wat hulle meer nodig het as enige saadjie ooit kon. Toe Mira se haastige hande die saadjie onder 'n bos laat rol, ontmoet die sussies 'n kabouter met die naam Chip agter 'n klein groen deurtjie. Hulle leer dat sommige dinge net groei waar iets klein versorg word, en dat niemand iets alleen laat groei nie. 'n Sagte plaasstorie oor geduld, goedhartigheid en die kleinste dingetjies. Deur Mirandès.
