You might know gnomes as the sweet, bearded characters of Nordic folklore, but you may be surprised to learn that there is, as well, a quite different kind of gnome: a saying or proverb, a maxim, a wise, pithy saying.

This adorable book celebrates both kinds of gnomes and revels in springtime, as the days grow longer, birds return, animals awaken, and tiny buds burst open in the most brilliant shade of green. In this book you'll find gnomes busy cleaning, gardening, climbing trees, and picking strawberries... all while sharing with us the great wisdom that only gnomes can bestow. You'll also find some nice springtime crafts and recipes. A lovely celebration of springtime from the Kirsten Sevig, the author of The Little Winter Book of Gnomes. Her love of gnomes was instilled early by her "very Norwegian" family and their love of gnome-populated Nordic fairytales.
