About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to slow down and help your child cultivate a sense of gratitude for the passing of time and the beauty of small, daily rituals. It serves as a gentle introduction to the art of keeping a journal or 'book of days,' making it perfect for a child who is beginning to value their own history and family traditions. Tasha Tudor's signature Victorian style offers a quiet, contemplative space for children to reflect on the natural world and their place within it. While the book is formatted like a chapter book, it functions more as a poetic almanac or keepsake. It explores the language of flowers and the specific joys of each month, from the first snows of January to the harvest of autumn. It is particularly appropriate for elementary-aged children who have a sentimental or artistic streak. Parents will find it a wonderful tool for sparking conversations about heritage, the changing seasons, and how to find magic in the mundane moments of a growing life.
