The Tomten by Astrid Lindgren

The beautiful illustrations in this book capture perfectly the crisp, cold, snowy atmosphere of a still winter's night as the Tomten, a small spirit and guardian of a humble farm homestead goes about on his secret rounds doing his caretaker duties in his gentle, loving way. He whispers encouragment to the sleeping animals and children. He has seen many hundreds of winters and so he knows that "winters come and winters go, summers come and summers go" and the wheel of the year turns on and on. This bed-time story will help children feel safe, cozy and snug in their beds on a cold, dark winter's night.
