  Children’s birthdays are a time of reflection to look back over the previous year and remember the day that child arrived in the world. A 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 best-known version of the story by parenting coach and Waldorf parent Lou Harvey-Zahra. It 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 each year to celebrate your child’s special day. Through the Rainbow can also be personalized and made unique for each birthday child.
