Festivals, family and food – Judy Large & Diana Carey

Festivals, family and food by Judy Large & Diana Carey is an inspiring Waldorf guide book to celebrations of seasonal festivals with children and as a family.

This book is a treasure trove of ideas and traditions for the numerous festivals that children love celebrating. This family favourite is perfect for a childhood in tune with nature and tradition. It’s a wonderful resource book full of practical ideas, recipes, crafts, stories, poems, games and songs for every season.

Each festival has its own illustrated chapter, including Christmas, New Year, Easter, Candlemas, Whitsun, Harvest and Martinmas, as well as sections on birthdays, rainy days, convalescence, and a birthday calendar. The book is divided into Spring days, Summer days, Autumn days and Winter days to guide you joyfully through the year.

Observing the round of festivals is an enjoyable way to bring rhythm into children’s lives and provide a series of meaningful landmarks to look forward to, in Waldorf learning or in general family life. A great gift for any family.

The book Festivals, family and food is published in English by Hawthorn Press (2002). It features lovely illustrations by Cornelie Morris and Sylvia Mehta, and music by Rob Mehta.
