Roots & Wings: Back to School

The start of the school year is just around the bend and whether your children are returning to public school, private school or starting a homeschool year, it’s helpful to launch on a positive note.

Historically, if a family was living in the country, school didn’t begin till harvest was over, children had finished helping prepare the root cellar stores of winter food, clothes were altered to fit, and shoes were shined. The rhythm of life was much slower and rightly connected to the earth and its seasons.

We have another wonderful new book from Sophie Blackall & Phoebe Wahl called The Story Rug. A gentle story about the joys of classrooms and loving teachers who create a safe place for children to create and savor memories from home.
