Synopsis

Featuring the award-winning images of photographer Lars van de Goor, this enchanting tale follows a young girl on her magical quest through a fairy door, where she discovers that change starts with a tiny seed and no one is too small to make a difference In a busy, noisy town where everyone is always rushing about, there is a little girl named Willow. She sees the things that everyone is too distracted to notice--including a little bird who leads her to a tiny door in an old tree. When she steps through the fairy door, she enters a magical Wild Wood where everything has its time and place, and meets tiny fairies who nourish the earth, and turn the seasons. The fairies show Willow the joy of living in harmony with nature . . . and returning home, she learns that change can start with a tiny seed. With vibrant, luminous photographs, artist Lars van de Goor launches an ordinary child on an extraordinary journey to rewild her own home.
