I am so delighted to review this book! I did leave a glowing review on Amazon for this book which is where I found it. I gotta say... As a homeschooling pagan family this book meets all needs of teaching children about spring traditions that stretch back thousands of years, from all over the world! The author is not shy about using the word "Pagan" among discussions on other religions, and it's so wonderful to show children that it's ok to learn about many religions and cultures besides their own.
"A New Beginning - Celebrating the Spring Equinox" is a fact filled, bright and colorful book perfect for kids of all ages. The illustrations are colorful, keeps a child's attention, and shows some of the most fascinating traditions. The author explains in detail scientific facts about the equinox, animal behavior during that time, as well as a run through of what the sun does throughout the seasons.
But my favorite part of all... are the activities added to the back of this book! After reading about all the wonderful spring celebrations, there are crafts and even recipes that are perfect for kids and parents to try out together making this book one of my all time favorite Spring Time books!
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who celebrates the Spring Equinox in any way, pagan or not! I'm always looking out for material rich in tolerance and support to share with my son, and this purchase has been one of the best.
If you know of other books like this, share them with me in the comments!
