Publisher's Synopsis
A Little Magic For Children, is pure fantasy. "Sammy the Squirrel" describes a terrible storm that made a family of squirrels flee from their home and take refuge on an island in a lake. After the storm, the squirrel family leave the island and return to find their home had been destroyed. Working as a family they find a suitable tree and build a new nest. The "little Chimney sweep" depicts a dream in which a Little Chimney Sweep relates his life and tells "Micheal" the dreamer, to write down his own dream for his own future. "The Squirrel's Feast" shows how tame squirrels can behave when they smell fresh free nuts. "Falling Leaf" is a tale depicting how a vivid dream lead a young girl to take dandelions home to her mother. The mother was sick and to please her daughter, ate the dandelions including the roots to regain her health. Knowledge of healing must have happened by chance initially, before there was any formal medical knowledge, and by experience. It has now been discovered that dandelions and other herbs do have healing properties.
