Miniature Dresser
I’m looking for a children’s book about an old woman who finds miniature babies.?
I read the book back in early elementary school, (early ’90s). All I can really remember about the book is an old single woman with no children who finds these tiny babies out in the snow (I think) and brings them inside one night to take care of. She puts them in her dresser drawer to keep warm and to sleep for the night. I wish I could remember more but that’s it. If you know anything about it I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

“An older couple live a lively and productive farm life, but long for children they cannot have.
Then the magic begins. One March night, rain pattering on their roof arouses the woman. “Wake up, old man, I’ve heard the moonshower brings good fortune to everyone it touches!” They go out and stand in the rain. There, in the grass and wildflowers are shining drops of water, each holding a baby.
The couple care diligently for their found little poems. They carry their babies in a willow basket while they do their chores, saving them from several near-disasters–a sudden storm, a weasel, and lightening-set fire. The babies sleep in a dresser drawer, covered gently by a scarf..”
