Why the Setting Sun Turns Red and Other Pedagogical Stories

Experienced Waldorf Teachers know that stories are the language of childhood. Stories explain the world to a child with pictures they can comprehend, take in deeply, and digest easily. Scolding, reprimands and moralizing often only leave a child resentful and confused. Stories make pictures of things that might have gone awry and avenues down which to walk to correct any problem. This book provides eloquent explanation of the power of a pedagogical story for a child or a class of children and offers stories to illuminate the points. Parents, teachers, and caretakers will treasure the collection.
