To escape the holiday blues and the cold and monotony of winter, sixty-something widows and best friends, Wendy and Amie happily head south to attend the wedding of Wendy's environmentally conscious nephew.

Snow and murder follow the women, and Wendy is once more forced to put her puzzle-solving skills to work to identify the killer. Amie warns her that accusing someone of murder is not like a puzzle where a mistake can be simply erased. Further complicating matters, the possibility of romance threatens the friend's relationship.

Part travelogue combined with an old-fashion murder mystery, "Sinister Snowbirds" is the second in a series featuring the adventures of Wendy and Amie.

When good friends Wendy and Amie embark on a fall foliage tour of New England, they don't expect much excitement from their quirky, over-fifty group of tourists. However, the pair find themselves in the middle of a murder mystery that leads them to a most unexpected conclusion.

When a member of Wendy and Amie's tour group suddenly dies, the two friends learn that when you always expect the unexpected, you will never be disappointed. With some amateur sleuthing and Wendy's deductive nosiness, she is able to put together the pieces of the puzzle and help solve the case.

Part travelogue and part tongue-in-cheek commentary on the human condition, "Lethal Leaf Peepers" is the perfect tale for those who love an old-fashioned murder mystery.

A unique and urgently needed anthology of lectures aimed at improving awareness of diversity, empathy and inclusion in Waldorf early childhood programs. Featuring contributions from authors from a wealth of Black, Brown, Indigenous and LGBTQ+ experience, the writings encourage teachers to understand the importance of understanding not only the developmental needs of children, but also the context of the society and structures that influence them. Towards a Kinder, More Compassionate Society encourages Waldorf early childhood practitioners to develop humility, curiosity, interest, wonder and integrity, and urges readers to recognise the ways in which they can be influenced. This is a powerful call to early childhood practitioners to embrace and encourage change.

This book collects lectures given in 2015 at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. 550 people from 46 countries, including Waldorf educators, scholars, and professionals in a wide range of fields, came together to work on current educational questions with the goal of deepening our understanding of child and human development. Claus-Peter Roeh of the Pedagogical Section at the Goetheanum summarised the mood at the end of the conference: 'We have tried, with great intensity and candour, to create a community of awareness around various areas of education. The desire to always keep the idea of a whole in mind while discerning the individual was clearly apparent . . . Now we stand before the challenge of further developing our collective work and newly gained insights into the future.' Contributors include Florian Osswald, Ursula Flatters, Susan Weber, Elizabeth Hall, Clara Aerts, Reinoud Engelsman and Claus-Peter Roeh. These texts will serve as a basis for further study activity and can contribute to a greater collaborative activity in the Waldorf kindergarten and school movement.
