In the Light of a Child A Journey through the 52 Weeks of the Year in both Hemispheres for Children by Michael Hedley Burton

Children live deeply in the experience of the seasons. Their unity with  nature is initially unconscious and uncritical, and this "Garden of  Eden" consciousness gradually fades as they become more self-aware and  confront the outer world as I-beings. The verses in this book  help children bridge the gap from their unconscious connection with  nature to a living feeling for the seasons that will stay with them  through life. These verses follow the course of the year, as inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s Calendar of the Soul. The book is arranged so that par­ents, teachers, eurythmists, and  chil­dren can follow the course of the year in both the northern and  southern hemispheres.  ISBN:       9780880104500      Publication Date:       April 1st 1998      (Ages 4–9)
