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!
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
Blending nature connection with art, poetry, and myth, The Wheel of the
Year conveys the magic and beauty of ancient traditions and encourages
young readers to notice, care for, and celebrate the natural world
around them.
