A children's novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around the imaginative world of young girls who engage in playful make-believe as they navigate the transitions from spring to summer. It captures the innocence and creativity of childhood as the girls create their own narratives and roles while discovering their surroundings and experiences. The narrative follows a group of girls, specifically Lilli, Siviä, and Ruusu, as they play together, transitioning from whimsical games to more structured roles as they establish their own ''house'' and take on familial responsibilities. Their interactions are characterized by typical childhood disputes, misunderstandings, and cooperative play. The arrival of younger siblings, like Lilli's brother Poju and the infant Pikkus, adds both chaos and depth to their adventures. The girls’ imaginative play highlights themes of nurturing, responsibility, and the innocent complexities of friendship. As the story unfolds, they encounter challenges that test their resolve and creativity, reflecting both the joys and trials of growing up.
