An excerpt from the beginning of the book:
WHERE DO THE LITTLE PLANT PEOPLE LIVE?
Plants! Plants! Plants! Plants all over our big world! Plants on the land! Plants on the water! Some of these dear little plant people love to live high, high up among the mountains. There the wind is merry and often rough in his play.
There the sunbeams are bright and strong and go dancing up, up, up steep rocky slopes, or down, down, down, into dark places between the rocks.
Oftentimes big rocks plunge down the mountain side, crushing every little flower in their path.
But the little plant people of the mountains love their home and will have no other.
Some little plant people love best to live down in the lowlands between the mountains.
There the wind is gentle in his play.
There the sunbeams are warm and bright.
Some other plant people — most of these are dwarfs — love to live up on the hillside and even up on the sides of the gray old rocks themselves.
Other plant people love the meadow lands.
