It's winter, and as the last leaves fall from the trees, and the nights are at their longest, the sky seems darker and wider than ever. On cold, crisp and cloudless nights, there's nothing better than a bit of moon-gazing. Since the beginning of time, humans have looked to the moon with wonder, and with a lingering question: what is it exactly that stares back at us?

In this issue, you will discover three stories that tell us something about the nature of the moon: its origin, its phases and whether it could be a place that humans could call home. And by the time you have read this magazine, we hope that you will be able to make a moon viewer, name the moon's phases, create a lunar calendar, draw the moon, craft a moon lantern... and much more!

by Sharon Creech

Winner of the Newbery Medal and the Children's Book Award, this is a breathtaking book, a modern classic in the making.

Don’t judge a man until you’ve walked two moons in his moccasins.

What is the meaning of this strange message left on the doorstep?  Only Sal knows, and on a roadtrip with her grandparents she tells the bizarre tale of Phoebe Winterbottom, Phoebe’s disappearing mother and the lunatic.  But who can help Sal make sense of the mystery that surrounds her own story . . . and her own missing mother? 

In her own singularly beautiful style, Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech intricately weaves together two tales, one funny, one bittersweet, to create a heartwarming, compelling, and utterly moving story of love, loss, and the complexity of human emotion.

Thirteen-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle, proud of her country roots and the "Indian-ness in her blood," travels from Ohio to Idaho with her eccentric grandparents. Along the way, she tells them of the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who received mysterious messages, who met a "potential lunatic," and whose mother disappeared.

As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe's outrageous story, her own story begins to unfold—the story of a thirteen-year-old girl whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing mother.

Recommended for young readers ages 9-13 years.

A Year & a Day - A Waldorf-Inspired Seasonal Quarterly Magazine for Children

Spring 2024 edition.

In Spring, when snow and ice has melted away, rivers become alive with sound. Rivers and riverbanks are wonderfully diverse habitats, home to a rich variety of plants and animals. Throughout human history, rivers have been used as means of transportation, as territory markers and as sources of food. And humans have recognised and revered the wild power of rivers. In this issue we include three traditional tales that help to answer some of our questions about rivers. What are rivers? How are they formed? Can their power be harnessed? Who makes their river a home? 

By the time you have read this issue, we hope that you will be able to... make a river swimmer, create a dot painting, write a river song, bake a beaver tail... and much more!
