From Advent and the Twelve Days of Christmas, to the flight into Egypt: Estelle Bryer and Janni Nicol tell their favourite Advent and Christmas stories. Their approach is simple yet profound and draws on their lifelong experience as Waldorf kindergarten educators, puppeteers, and as mothers.
These stories will delight young children, and invite parents and teachers to become more confident storytellers.
“Will help make Christmas a magical time for children”
