Through the Rainbow: A Waldorf Birthday Story for Children | Hardcover | Children's Book
A faithful and inspiring retelling of the Waldorf birthday story accompanied by soft, ethereal illustrations, that together create a beautiful picture book which can be personalised for each child.
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 personalised, making it unique for each birthday child.
