Its aim is to ‘foster deep, meaningful, enriching and lasting relationships with the natural world.’ It does this through providing songs, poems, craft ideas, plant lore, games, stories and recipes, set out in the seasonal wheel of the year with sections for the traditional ancient celebrations of lmbolc, Beltane, Lughnasa and Samhain.” –Juno magazine
‘This book entices us to go outside, to play and interact with the natural world and to celebrate different times of the year’ –Jon Cree, Forest School Association
