In a Nutshell

USD $18.00

What an absolutely wonderful book! Nancy Foster has not only given us great explanation of just about everything parents new to Waldorf education ever wonder about, but she has gone on to give some of the best parenting advice ever written down. In other words, she has poured over 30 years experience as a Waldorf kindergarten teacher into the most concise, readable and useful wee book ever printed on the subject teaching and parenting young children. This is a genuinely must-have book for anyone working with or raising young children.
