Sinopsis

A beautifully illustrated, interactive guide to ancient, nature-based holidays and customs. Through themed meditations, crafts, and rituals, young readers can learn about old and new ways of honoring the seasons―and create their own!

“This book is, in a word, immaculate.”―Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

Blending nature connection with art, poetry, and myth, The Wheel of the Year conveys the magic and beauty of ancient traditions and encourages young family members to notice, care for, and celebrate the natural world around them. A thoughtful reference and gift book suitable for either leisure reading or homeschooling, it is geared toward younger readers but enjoyable for those of all ages seeking a deeper connection to nature’s traditions.

Each “spoke” in The Wheel of the Year marks an important turning point: the winter and summer solstices, the spring and fall equinoxes, and the festivals of seeding, growing, and harvesting that arrive in between. Within each section, enjoy:

  • An overview of the holiday and its significance in cultures around the world
  • A sensory scavenger hunt for sights, sounds, and smells the season
  • Ideas for a seasonal altar using objects from nature
  • Themed crafts, rituals, games, and recipes

Create meaningful memories with young readers as you explore the changing of the seasons and find new ways to celebrate nature.
