This wonderful collection of seasonal tales is the second volume drawn from Waldorf early childhood teachers around the USA. Many are original tales which spring from a teacher's imagination or are inspired by nature or a festival. Others are classic favourites which change over the years in the retelling but retain all the core elements. It is in the telling of a story that a story comes alive, and this anthology will be an inspiration for teachers and parents. Stories are organised into sections for spring and summer, autumn, winter and times when special care is needed.

In kindergartens all over the world, storytime is often one of the favourite parts of the day. Stories connect us to each other, give a sense of who we are, and guide us into the future. Stories are vital for healthy child development. This new collection of over eighty stories from the members and friends of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America is a treasure-trove for preschool children. In this book you'll find stories for special occasions as well as everyday enjoyment, which will nourish and inspire.
