"Sometimes when I pick up a new book, I can tell before I even open the cover that there is something magical about it, something exciting and wonderful. I had this experience when The Waldorf Book of Poetry arrived. Here, in one place, is one of the greatest collections of poetry ever brought together. The love that has gone into the selecting this anthology is evident on every page. There isn’t a single great poem I’ve thought of that I haven’t found inside the covers of this book. This is the book that will feed the hearts and minds of children for years to come." —Nancy Parsons, www.waldorfbooks.com
The Waldorf Book of Poetry is a fantastic resource full of poems to use in the Waldorf classroom. I can’t tell you how many hours I have spent poring through poetry books trying to find something appropriate to use with my students. Every time I do it I’ve thought that certainly countless Waldorf teachers before myself have spent the same hours trying to find just the right poem. David Kennedy has taken all that work and compiled it into one volume full of poems appropriate for all kinds of situations. Usually it’s pretty simple to find rhymes and poems to use with the younger grades but in this book I found poem after poem that was perfect for my sixth graders and even older students. I can’t recommend it enough! —Meredith Floyd-Preston, awaldorfjourney.com. More info ...
