These are the 4 silhouettes that belong to the book: The Story of the Root Children (Het verhaal van de wortelkindertjes). From Mother Earth that wakes the sleepy Root Children and encourages them to start making their new spring clothes, to the famous picture where the Root Children walk towards the light and venture above the ground. Including the pictures of the four seasons, beautifully drawn by Sibylle von Olfers.
Let your child easily change the silhouettes whilst you enjoy reading the book together.
Sibylle von Olfers, celebrate the legacy of “The Root Children” with Toverlux.
Toverlux is honoured to illuminate your home with the enchanting tale of “The Root Children.” Authored by Sibylle von Olfers, this timeless classic was created as a labour of love for her younger sister, enriching her family’s life with its magical narrative and now, generations of families around the world.
Inspired by her imaginative upbringing and deep connection to nature, Sibylle von Olfers—a nun, art teacher, and visionary storyteller—crafted this beloved tale in 1906. It invites us into an enchanted world where the root children wake from their winter sleep to experience the beauty of the seasons, symbolising the cycles of nature and the innocence of youth.
With our Toverlux Lamp, we bring a new dimension to this cherished story, offering an experience of warmth, wonder, and the nostalgia of a nature-filled childhood at bedtime.
