All year round: a calendar of celebrations – Ann Druitt & Christine Fynes-Clinton

The all year round a calendar of celebrations book by Ann Druitt and Christine Fynes-Clinton is a thoughtful Waldorf inspired friendly guide to the seasonal round of festivals.

This book is a festival treasure trove of tomorrow’s much loved childhood memories, all mingled together with a mix of coloured thread, delicious cooking smells, softly sparkling candle light and the snatch of a favourite song!

All year round is brimming with things to make, activities, stories, poems and songs to share with your family. It is full of well-illustrated ideas for fun and celebration: from Candlemas to Christmas and Midsummer’s day to the Winter solstice.

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. Each festival has a special character of its own: participation can deepen our understanding and love of nature and bring a gift to the whole family. All year round invites you to start celebrating now!

The book all year round a calendar of celebrations is published by Hawthorn Press and contains lovely illustrations by Marije Rowling.

Marije Rowling is an artist and art teacher.
