Little World

Love, says Felicia, is just like a flower. It needs to be nourished and respected to be able to grow strong.

My friend tells such funny stories. Even though I’ve heard them one hundred million times before… I laugh just as hard each time. And so does my friend.

From up above on my cloud I look down on all of the good and happy things taking place on earth. I also see if someone is sad. Then I immediately send a butterfly down to comfort them, because no one should have to be sad, scared or worried.

On some summer evenings, as we look straight into space among the stars and the planets, the sky is so light blue and thin that we think we’ll see what’s hiding on the other side. But no matter which way we look, we see heaven and more heaven, a few clouds that sail by and sometimes the moon. We wonder if heaven ever ends…

When the September sun dances across our secret grove, everything it touches turns to gold. It’s just as magical as when you’ve found the very best of friends.

The wind rocks me ever so gently towards the land of dreams. Where big can be small and small can be summer. Anything can happen in this marvelous place; witty or nutty, funny or zany, silly or scary. And if it were to get very scary I know that as soon as I open my eyes I’m safely back at home.

Bubbles are like magic - they appear out of nowhere, tickle your nose then vanish just as fast as they came. I wonder where bubbles go…

There’s always a good reason to get together. Maybe someone has fallen in love, has learned half of the alphabet, or found a four leaf clover… or two! Usually we get together just because it’s fun to get together. That’s a pretty good reason too.

I don’t need a castle to feel like a princess – just a place in the sun, some greenery and a sail in site.

Legs up… legs down…arms up and stretch really tall.
Arms down… curl up and roll like a ball.

– One more time! One more time!! Oh please Rolly, one more time, giggle the Giddies hopefully.

When Rolly does his morning workout the Giddies always tag along. They love to workout with Rolly and Rolly likes the happy company.

Every Friday we meet in the park and give the old, tired trees a hug. Coming here is fun because the trees are so nice and they are always happy that we’ve stopped by to say hello; their spirits perk up and they tell us many stories of long ago when they were rowdy little plants. But right when we’re having the most fun, it’s always time to go home. It’s sad, of course, but it’s OK because we know we’ll be seeing each other again soon. Good-bye Trees!

If you are really, really quiet during springtime you can hear the cherry blossoms whispering to each other about love, sunshine and how short life is. But only if you are really, really quiet…

Just think if you and I were so small that we could climb in to a dandelion and snuggle for a little while. Nobody in the whole wide world would be able to find us.

Nobody knows what it looks like in Seventh Heaven but everybody who’s been there knows how it feels.

Sometimes during the summer, when the weather is in a good mood, we walk ever so slowly down to the water. We sit on the sun warmed rocks and listen to the lapping waves. Then we go buy ice cream!

Oh boy do I have it good! The sun is warm and the lemonade is cold. Everything feels calm and peaceful. It’s one of those days when even the winds are resting.

Yes, we know that our singing is less than good. But we feel much better singing than not, squak Mixi, Pixi and Trixi together. No, Birdettes are no singing sensation but the trio is happy and loves to be on stage.

It’s my lucky day… I’ve gotten a letter! I know who sent it without reading a single word because the envelope smells like strawberries… Tomorrow I will write back with lots of red hearts.

Chanterelle mushrooms must be the best in the world at playing hide-and-seek, because no matter how hard you look and look, you never find them… well, almost never…

Expectantly and bouncing with alertness the Buddies awake after a long winter´s rest. They are all in the best of moods and as happy as can be because the light and the warmth have returned.

Anything can happen in the whirling world of story tales. This wonderful place is fun and exciting. You are never ever alone because as soon as you turn the page you meet a new friend.

Autumn’s here already. Time has flown by so quickly but we’ve had a lot of fun. Now it’s time for me to fly to a warmer land and you must stay here to meet the winter; to jump and play in the snow with friends and ride sleds. When the hills start turning green with playful crocuses popping up here and there, I will soon be back with you. And another summer of fun will be waiting for us.

Laying this near to you, with my eyes closed, I can tell you’re smiling. No, I’m not peeking… it’s because I can feel your heart beating happily. Mine is too.

– Papa, look how small my ice cream is. It was this big before.

– Well, that’s something! Hurry and eat it up before it all melts.

– Okey Papa, but then we don’t have to hurry anymore today, do we?

– Nope, no more hurrying all summer long.

Once in a while you need to stop being serious, drop your responsibilities, magnificently kick back and get wild! Maybe dance the rumba on a petal and sing a song for yourself, flirt with a poppy or talk nonsense with a cornflower. Ditch the mirror and just be you; fly a flag for heart and soul!

Teeny, tiny hops and big, long jumps! In the moss you can dare to do anything because, if you happen to fall, you land so softly. Of course, that’s as long as there is no playful pine needle in the way.

I’m lying in a flowering garden having a jelly bean party for myself. But if someone would stop by, I would love to share my candy.

Wahoo - we won! What a team we make, you and I. We know exactly where each other is on the playing field, we give each other encouragement and opportunities. We pass the ball between us with style - you to me and me to you, while we get closer towards the goal. And suddenly… bam! It’s in the net! Yippie! Our teamwork makes us The Number One Team not only right now but for all the exciting games to come.
