An incredibly beautifully illustrated guide to Nature’s Rhythms.

THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR, an Illustrated Guide to Nature’s Rhythms is full of themed activities, crafts, and rituals to enable, and encourage parents of young children to discover old and new ways of honouring the seasons… and help them create their own!

Illustrator Jessica Roux dedicates the book to her mother, “for encouraging a love of Nature, Reading and Art”. Author Fiona Cook dedicates the book to “the Magic-makers who bring the book to life!’… after all, they tell us:

“You are Magic…and so is the world around you, transforming with each new season!”

A beautifully illustrated, interactive guide to ancient, nature-based holidays and customs. Blending nature connection with art, poetry, and myth, The Wheel of the Year conveys the magic and beauty of ancient traditions and encourages young readers to notice, care for, and celebrate the natural world around them.

Each spoke in THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR marks an important turning point: the winter and summer solstices, the spring and fall equinoxes, and the festivals of seeding, growing, and harvesting that arrive in between. Within each section, enjoy:

• An overview of the holiday and its significance in cultures around the world
• A sensory scavenger hunt for sights, sounds, and smells the season
• Ideas for a seasonal altar using objects from nature
• Themed crafts, rituals, games, and recipes
