When Emily Was Small

A joyful frolic through the garden helps a little girl feel powerful in this beautiful picture book that celebrates nature, inspired by the writings of revered artist Emily Carr.

Emily feels small. Small when her mother tells her not to get her dress dirty, small when she's told to sit up straight, small when she has to sit still in school.

But when she's in the garden, she becomes Small: a wild, fearless, curious and passionate soul, communing with nature and feeling one with herself. She knows there are secrets to be unlocked in nature, and she yearns to discover the mysteries before she has to go back to being small . . . for now.

When Emily Was Small is at once a celebration of freedom, a playful romp through the garden and a contemplation of the mysteries of nature.

O bucurie placuta prin gradina ajuta o fetita sa se simta puternica in aceasta frumoasa carte ilustrata care sarbatoreste natura, inspirata de scrierile veneratei artiste Emily Carr. Emily se simte mica. Mica cand mama ei ii spune sa nu-si murdareasca rochia, mica cand i se spune sa se aseze drept, mica cand trebuie sa stea nemiscata la scoala. Dar cand este in gradina, devine Mica: o salbatica, neinfricata, curioasa si suflet pasional, comunicand cu natura si simtindu-se unul cu ea insasi.
