Children's birthdays are a time of reflection to look back over the last year, and remember the day they arrived in the world. The Waldorf tradition is to tell the birthday story -- the tale of a little soul who crossed the rainbow bridge, came to earth, found a loving family and became the birthday boy or girl.

The birthday story has been told for generations and holds a unique place in the hearts and memories of thousands of families. Through the Rainbow is a faithful and inspiring retelling of the most well-known version of the story by parenting coach and Waldorf parent Lou Harvey-Zahra, and is accompanied by soft, ethereal illustrations by Waldorf artist and teacher Sara Parrilli.

This beautiful picture book can become part of a family's traditions, read every year to celebrate a child's special day. Through the Rainbow can be personalized, making it unique for each birthday child.
