Eckil has an important promise to keep. With his flute on his back and spring in the air, he must play each day to wake the flowers of Fairy Glade in time for the Blossoming Ceremony. But the world beyond the river is full of distractions, and each day he tells himself he'll catch up tomorrow.
As fox kits tumble, deer graze, and an owl watches from afar, Eckil keeps putting off his task-until the buds begin to droop and the ceremony draws near. With help from an unexpected, slow-and-steady friend, Eckil learns that responsibility grows one choice at a time.
A magical tale about follow-through and fresh starts from Poppenohna Land for Littles-a six-book series celebrating the character pillars. Eckil's adventure centers on the pillar of responsibility.
