Author Description

In this enchanting, nature-centered story, A Winter Solstice Tale invites readers into a secret world where fairies and gnomes celebrate Earth's longest night. As the planet tilts and winter deepens, these tiny magical beings pass down ancient Solstice lore, express gratitude for the natural world, and share kindness with the woodland animals around them. Children follow the fairies and gnomes as they dance around fires, craft glowing lanterns, mull cider, treat the squirrels and birds, and whisper their dreams for the coming year into the flames. With gentle rhyme and serene winter imagery, the story offers a warm introduction to seasonal traditions, Earth cycles, and the spirit of renewal. A perfect read-aloud for families, classrooms, and holiday gatherings, this book encourages wonder, mindfulness, and compassion for the world we call home.
