These verses, following the course of the year, week by week, in both hemispheres, were inspired by Rudolf Steiner's CALENDAR OF THE SOUL. Burton, a former New Zealand teacher, writes, "What guided me to attempt this task was the conviction that such material--neither prayer nor meditation, but drawn from Nature herself--was being called for by parents, children & teachers." The poems are arranged so that on the same page the reader can follow the contrast of Nature's unfolding in the northern & on the southern hemispheres at one & the same time & thus experience what is occurring on the other side of the world. The bright cover illustration confirms the lively radiance of the entire book.Burton, Michael H. is the author of 'In the Light of a Child Fifty-Two Verses for Children and the Child in Every Human Being' with ISBN 9780932776174 and ISBN 0932776175.
