Children's birthdays are a time of reflection to look back over the last
year, and remember the day they arrived in the world. The Waldorf
tradition is to tell the birthday story -- the tale of a little soul who
crossed the rainbow bridge, came to earth, found a loving family and
became the birthday boy or girl.
The birthday story has been told for generations and holds a unique
place in the hearts and memories of thousands of families. Through the
Rainbow is a faithful and inspiring retelling of the most well-known
version of the story by parenting coach and Waldorf parent Lou
Harvey-Zahra, and is accompanied by soft, ethereal illustrations by
Waldorf artist and teacher Sara Parrilli.
This beautiful picture book can become part of a family's traditions,
read every year to celebrate a child's special day. Through the Rainbow
can be personalized, making it unique for each birthday child.
