Synopsis:
Rosabella is a shining, celestial Being, coming to us from the far-distant Stars. The four mighty Elements of the world, Earth, Water, Fire and Wind, take it upon themselves to create her form – one worthy of her radiant soul. They each bestow special gifts upon her, which she is to enjoy and share
with the world. From her first waking moments she knows she has to be a dancer, and we follow her carefree, joyous dance of life through many seasons. However, there comes a time when she experiences an inner conflict, self-doubt, and even loss of purpose. She goes in search of a dream, any dream, asking all the beings of nature what she should do. From this search, she learns that it is in her own power to create and live her dream.

“Rosabella is a delightful fantasy with a strong message, almost an allegory. The illustrations are whimsical to match the little sprite with a dream… The story and pictures are so interwoven that the reader cannot help but smile.”
– Lauraine Snelling
“There is an ancient Russian proverb that states that creativity and reverence are the bread and salt of culture. If this be so, and I have no reason to doubt it, then Gabriele de Ginant presents us with a feast for the eye and sweetmeats for the soul.”
– Thomas Steinbeck
