Summer – a Waldorf collection of poems, songs, and stories for young children

The classic Waldorf book Summer, a collection of poems, songs, and stories for young children, contains a wide variety of poems, songs, and stories of the Summer season and many contributions for festivals.

Based on work in Waldorf kindergartens, this book provides invaluable material for working with young children. It is considered a useful resource for Waldorf teachers, home schoolers and parents.

Part of a series of six books, featuring one book for each of the seasons as well as the books Spindrift and Gateways, Summer includes an enlightening introduction by Jennifer Aulie on music in the “mood of the fifth.”

First published more than twenty years ago, this book is in its third edition, now revised with much new material added. Moreover, the music has been comprehensively edited, with most songs now in the scale of D-pentatonic, which is particularly suited to pentatonic lyres and can be played on any traditional seven-note or twelve-note instrument.

Summer, a collection of poems, songs, and stories for young children, has a cover illustrated in watercolours by David Newbatt, depicting a worker.

This story book is an ideal gift and is suited for children aged 5 to 8 years. It was published in 2007 in English by Wynstones Press.
