263F: He slept on a bed of milkweed

Hi and thank you.  It is a children’s book that my mom read with me in the early 70s.  Its pages are full illustrations with a fair amount of text on each.  It is about an elf or fairy or pixie. . . my mom and I cannot recall anything else except that he goes to bed on a snowy night in a tree or nut on an amazing bed of milkweed.

Any help is appreciated.

    A Home for Tandy by Audrey and Harvey Hirsch:

    This book details the journey of a young elf named Tandy in search of a home. He tries in vain to share the homes of other forest creatures (a beaver, a mole) but none are quite the right fit for him. Finally the animals of the forest build a home for Tandy as a surprise, and on the final page he is nestled in his milkweed pod bed, just in time for the first snow.
