Winter is one in a series of six books which are an invaluable resource for any parent or teacher of young children.
Collected and edited by Jennifer Aulie and Margret Meyerkort.

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter contain a wide variety of Poems, Songs and Stories of seasonal work, with many contributions for use at festivals. The Spindriftvolume comprises general and miscellaneous material for use the whole year round, including over forty stories, many of which come from different cultures around the world. Gateways has sections on Morning, Evening, Birthdays and Fairytales.

Founded out of the Waldorf kindergarten movement, these books provide an indispensable selection of material for working with young children. Most songs are in the scale of D-pentatonic, particularly suitable for pentatonic lyres, but quite capable of being played on any traditional 7 or 12 note instrument. Each volume includes a most enlightening introduction to music in the Mood of the Fifth, written by Jennifer Aulie.

The covers are all illustrated with watercolour paintings by David Newbatt, with the four seasonal titles each depicting a different workman.
