I do not seek to indoctrinate children with my beliefs. There's no point in that, kids have a mind of their own and if you don't believe me just think of the drama of handing a toddler a yellow plate when they wanted a green one. No, there will be no preaching in this book. Having pagan parents though some children see that we do things in a way different than mainstream and want an "in", they're interested or at least would like to know "why". My seasonal stories of the Great Wanderers provide just that. An explanation, a way in, something to contemplate in a simple, nature-based way without including pantheons and religion. Therefore this story books is sutiable for anyone wishing their child to connect with the fours seasons. Some believe the Earth is graced by the Wanderers, magical beings linked to the stars, sun, and soil. They are the personifications of the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Their presence brings changes in nature. When days grow long and warm, the Summer Queen and Oak King spread joy and make the world bloom. She brings growth, beauty and contentment, while he provides security and protects the crops. Join young Alnako as they learn from these mystical beings, discovering the magic of summer, hard work, and growing at their own pace. Through laughter, challenges, and celebration, Alnako and their village honor the Summer Queen and Oak King, dancing in harmony with their energies. This enchanting tale of growth and nature's wonders will captivate children, reminding them of the beauty and magic in every season and person. It's a tale about seasonal forces of nature, their impact on our lives and what we, and our children, can do about it to turn days of every changing season into a mindful, special celebration of life. So if, like me, you'd like your child to be connected to the Earth, the seasons, the elements, be mindful of the passage of time, draw strength through symbology provided us by nature and be a mindful human being centered in the "now", actually living each moment, then perhaps you will like this story. There's only one way to find out. SPECIFICATIONS: - 40 pages - full of colourful images - storybook
