Povesti din casuta bobului de grau

Four linked tales trace a trip through the seasons. A tiny wheat-grain house hides in Lady Imagination’s hair. Her hair bears the colours of the year. When the house opens, other figures come out. Their arrival starts the tales. A sparrow, Mia the bee, snowflakes and the house itself each stand for a season.

Catalina Gheorghian writes these tales for children and families. Lady Imagination urges Little Feather to explore, learn and seek. Bugs, birds, sunlight, wind and snow become living friends. They search for winter and clean for Easter. They find shelter in a wheat grain. They also travel to warmer lands.

The tales explore friendship, courage, joy and the wish to learn. The journey brings fear, hope, effort and success. Some figures are animals, while others take non-human forms. Through them, the tales show parents and children. They learn and grow together. Home is a place they all return to.

Gheorghian is a mother who writes tales to help children heal. Here, she uses make-believe to link thought and feeling. The tales mix a child's story world with modern touches. These include GPS. Children can hear or read these tales of adventure. Adults gain a link to their own childhoods.
