Long ago unicorns lived in a haven of sun-dappled glades and
flower-filled dells. But as civilization spread over the ages --
with its fierce knights, its chugging trains, its thick smogs --
unicorns had to find a new sanctuary. But where?
Jane Yolen finds a magical answer in the traditional unicorn myth.
Her rhythmic, rhymed text is irresistible to read aloud. And Ruth
Sanderson's brilliant artwork gives unicorns a bold reality in
everything from ancient cave paintings to their secret, present-day
home. After reading this tribute to the mystical, mysterious
unicorn, children will enjoy looking for these elusive creatures in
the world around them.
An illustrated collection of stories and activities to celebrate
traditional Pagan festivals and the changing of the seasons *
Shares original stories, based on traditional folktales and
designed to be read out loud, for each festival, such as Samhain,
Yule, Imbolc, Beltaine, Lughnasad, the solstices, and the equinoxes
* Includes traditional games, hands-on projects special to each
holiday, and seasonal recipes to enjoy the tastes and smells of
each feast day * Discusses the sacred symbolism, magical lore, and
cultural practices within each story and the healing and magical
uses for the trees and flowers featured Once upon a time, when only
candles lit the inside of homes and people traveled on foot or by
horse, the family would finish their supper, wash and dry the
dishes, and sit down before the hearth to hear a tale. These tales
were not only entertaining but also passed down both history and
tradition to the next generation. And as the wheel of the year
turned, these tales also served to teach the children about holy
days and festivals and the Gods and Goddesses who reigned over the
changing seasons. In this beautifully illustrated book, Ellen Evert
Hopman shares rich stories drawn from traditional folktales,
hands-on crafts, and seasonal recipes to help families and
classrooms learn about and celebrate traditional holy days and
festivals of the sacred earth year. Designed to be read out loud,
the stories are complemented with pronunciation guides and
translations for foreign words. You will learn of the Cailleach,
the ancient Goddess of Winter; La Befana, the Italian new year's
witch; Eostre, the Goddess of Spring; Kupalnocka, the Polish feast
of wreaths at midsummer; Yule among the Vikings; and many other
deities and celebrations. For each story, the author includes
hands-on projects special to the holiday--from crafting magical
wands and brooms to flower crowns and Brighid's Crosses--as well as
seasonal recipes, such as Magical Peppermint Chocolate Tea,
Beltaine Bannock, and La Befana Cake, allowing families to enjoy
the tastes, smells, and sounds associated with the feast days and
celebrations.
In this last installment of JaneYolen’s trio of books about
ordinary objects with extraordinary uses, the humble stick is
lauded as “a sword to tame monsters of dread” and “an oar for
a rowboat in puddle or pond,” among other imaginative functions.
As with most things, though, it fulfills its truest purpose when
combined with other simple items: what can be made with a stick, a
box, and a string? “Music that goes with ... everything!”
In this collection of poems, noted children's poet Jane Yolen takes
readers on an expedition underground, exploring everything from
animal burrows and human creations, like subways, near the surface,
to ancient cities and fossils, lower down, to caves, magma, and
Earth's tectonic plates, deeper still below our feet. At the same
time, in Jose Masse's rich art, a girl and boy, accompanied by
several animals, go on a fantastic underground journey. This book
contains science, poetry, and an adventure story all rolled into
one. But it's also more than that: In these poems we see that
beneath us are the past, present, future, history, truth, and
story. This thought-provoking collection will evoke a sense of
wonder and awe in readers, as they discover the mysterious world
underneath us.
