A favorite tale for generations, this story of the triumph of simple kindness over evil finds perfect interpretation in the majestic paintings of Gennady Spirin, whose "palette is deep and subtle, overlaid with a smoky haze of warm gold that heightens the timeless quality of the tale" (School Library Journal).

In the days leading up to Christmas, Mary and Joseph’s path to Bethlehem is fraught with difficulties, but, as the stories in this book reveal, a small miracle happens each day. The story of each miracle brings us a little closer to Christmas, until we finally reach the stable in Bethlehem, where the light in the lantern awaits in anticipation of the Christ Child’s birth. With twenty-eight stories, this book may be used as an “Advent calendar,” with the first week’s stories relating to the mineral world, the second to the plant world, followed by the animal kingdom, and finally human beings. This book helps enliven children's imaginations during the festival time of Christmas.

The songs and pieces in the book were selected from the author’s work with young people over a period of more than fifty years, from kindergarten to high school. They are not intended so much for the specialized Waldorf music lesson, but mainly for all of those times when five or ten minutes of making music can bring a joyful element into the classroom and the home, as well as to subjects as diverse as mythology and mathematics. Includes CD with 69 songs sung by Peter Patterson

I love to be me is a wonderful selection of thirty-two songs for young children, aged 5 to 9 years and beyond. Channa A. Seidenberg compiled this delightful collection while working with children. The music is composed using a seven-stringed lyre in the pentatonic scale, and it can easily be played using any twelve key instrument. I Love to Be Me is thoroughly illustrated in color, with twenty-four charming watercolor illustrations by Kingsley Lou Little, which help bring the words and music to life. This book is recommended for all parents and teachers of young children.

I Love to Be Me: Songs in the Mood of the Fifth

Seidenberg, Channa

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter contain a wide variety of poems, songs, and stories of the seasons and many contributions for festivals. The volume titled Spindrift contains material for use throughout the year, including more than forty stories, many different cultures around the world. Gateways contains sections on morning, evening, birthdays, and fairy tales. Based on work in Waldorf kindergartens, these six books provide invaluable material for working with young children and will be useful for Waldorf teachers, home schoolers, and parents alike. First published more than twenty years ago, these books are in their third edition, now reedited and with much new material added. In addition, the music has been comprehensively edited, with most songs now in the scale of D-pentatonic, which is particularly suited to pentatonic lyres and may be played on any traditional seven-note or twelve-note instrument. Each volume includes an enlightening introduction by Jennifer Aulie on music in the “mood of the fifth.” The covers are all illustrated in watercolors by David Newbatt, with the four seasonal titles each depicting a different worker.
