| Summary | "The Sun's Babies" by Edith Howes is a children's book containing a collection of whimsical tales, likely written in the early 20th century. The stories explore the world of nature through a charming and imaginative lens, introducing young readers to various flower and insect characters, such as the Snowdrop Baby and Dickie Codlin. The book invites children to appreciate the beauty of the seasons and the gentle interactions between plants, animals, and fairies. The opening of the book sets the stage with a poem describing the Sun-Man, who boasts of his many "babies" on Earth, all of whom thrive in his warmth. Following this introduction, the reader meets the Snowdrop Baby, nestled in her cradle beneath the ground, waiting for spring to bloom. As the seasons change from summer to autumn and winter, she listens to the flowers above, content to wait until the time is right for her to emerge in all her white frocked glory. This section emphasizes themes of patience and the interconnectedness of nature, establishing a delightful atmosphere that continues throughout the stories.
