This beautiful gift book contains 100 inspirational reflections on Waldorf education and schools, celebrating the Waldorf 100th anniversary.
In 2019, the worldwide Waldorf community celebrates the centenary of the founding of the original Waldorf school, the first of thousands of Waldorf and Waldorf-inspired schools and kindergartens around the world. This wonderful book celebrates the unique value that Waldorf education has brought to students, parents, and communities.
The 100 reflections are quotations from key historical figures in the history of Waldorf education, including Rudolf Steiner and original words of wisdom from eminent members of the modern Waldorf community, such as European Council for Steiner–Waldorf Education President Dr. Richard Landl, SWSF Early Childhood Executive Officer Janni Nicol, Alliance for Childhood coordinator Joan Almon, and experienced Waldorf school teacher Elan Leibner.
Alternately insightful, moving, and empowering, these carefully selected thoughts on the wisdom of Waldorf will be a source of enrichment and inspiration.
This hardback book is beautifully designed with a ribbon marker, making it both an ideal gift and a treasured keepsake for teachers, parents, and current and former students.
“A wonderful little book of nourishment and inspiration.” —Conkers Life
“This is a little treasure of a book, which is beautifully presented.” —Kindling
“...short enough to read in a single sitting...or dip into, tasting one or two [pages] at a time, like a jar of tiny and intense sweets, exploring and savoring each flavor, giving them time to sink in.” —Lincolnshire Waldorf Group
