Autumn: A Collection for Young Children

The four seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter - encompass a rich tapestry of poems, songs, and stories, serving as abundant resources for various festivals. The volume titled "Spindrift" presents material suitable for use throughout the year, including more than forty stories drawn from diverse cultures around the world. Additionally, "Gateways" contains sections dedicated to morning, evening, birthdays, and fairy tales.

Grounded in the Waldorf kindergarten approach, these books provide invaluable resources for working with young children, making them indispensable tools for Waldorf teachers, home schoolers, and parents. First published more than two decades ago, these volumes have now reached their third edition, revised and expanded with a wealth of new content.

Furthermore, the music featured in these books has undergone a comprehensive editorial process, with the majority of the songs now in the D-pentatonic scale. This scale is particularly well-suited for pentatonic lyres and can be played on any traditional seven-note or twelve-note instrument. Each volume also includes an enlightening introduction by Jennifer Aulie, exploring the "mood of the fifth" in the musical compositions.

Adorning the covers of these captivating works are watercolor illustrations by David Newbatt, each depicting a different worker corresponding to the four seasonal titles. The artistic renderings serve to enhance the captivating nature of these publications, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of the seasons.

With their diverse range of content, these books offer a treasure trove of resources for educators, parents, and all those who seek to nurture the imaginations and connect with the rhythms of the natural world. Whether used in the classroom, at home, or for personal enjoyment, these volumes undoubtedly enrich the lives of those who engage with them.
