Children live deeply in the experience
of the seasons. Their unity with
nature, initially unconscious, gradually
fades as they become more selfaware
These verses help children
bridge the gap from their unconscious
connection with nature to
a living feeling for the seasons that
will stay with them throughout life.
The verses are inspired by Rudolf
Steiner’s Calendar of the Soul,
and the book is arranged so that
parents, teachers, eurythmists, and
children can follow the course of
the year in both the northern and
southern hemispheres. (Ages 4-9)
