In the Waldorf kindergarten, there are no books, it's all spoken word, shared heart to heart, with storytelling and puppetry. At home, the act of snuggling up with our child to read a story can be a very sweet and comforting ritual. I have fond memories of my mom reading to me, as well as warm memories of reading to my own children. I bet you do too.
Stories, especially stories about daily life, are a cherished part of family life.
As we settle into vibrant, lush, greenness of Spring, taking a moment during the day to settle in with a warm cup of tea and a good story can be just the refreshment needed ~ a peaceful in-breath amid the busyness of the day.
It’s always hard to choose just a few favorites as there are so many wonderful books to choose from, and each family has its own special favorites. Here are a few of my family’s favorites to cosy up and read aloud in the Spring:
Dibble and Dabble by Dave and Julie Saunders
Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney
Pelle's New Suit by Else Beskow
The Story of the Root Children by Sibylle von Olfers
Spring by Gerda Muller
Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey
