Dahlia is a governess who brings equal measures of intellect and imagination to her role, guiding her young charges through literature, arithmetic, and life lessons. Her steady presence and kind demeanor transform every moment into an opportunity for learning and wonder. Dahlia has a delightful habit of humming fragments of symphonies as she goes about her day—sometimes Beethoven, sometimes a tune she invents on the spot. The children adore it, often joining in with their impromptu melodies and turning mundane tasks into a small, shared concert.
