The Timid Cabbage

There lived a timid cabbage in a field beside a stream, and all that cabbage did each day was lie in bed and dream.

Charles Krafft wrote a poem for fellow artist Femke Hiemstra. Femke was so taken with the endearing charm of the poem that she proceeded to illustrate it. Those drawings became a sold-out show at the Roq La Rue gallery in Seattle, and that sold-out show resulted in this equally charming book. The Timid Cabbage is a beautiful keepsake gift that a thoughtful child will forever treasure. An older child just might embrace the heartfelt moral of the story about the importance of being an individual. Young adults, middle aged hipsters and older art collectors will want it to revisit the magic of being young-minded and susceptible to enchantment. You'll want to have The Timid Cabbage prominently displayed on your bookshelf to impress all your cool friends.
