Seasonal folklore & fun facts
People have marked the turning seasons with stories for as long as stories have existed — planting tales in spring, harvest tales in autumn, and long fireside stories through winter. Matching what your child reads to the season outside the window is a lovely, low-effort way to keep reading fresh: a beach book in July, a pumpkin story in October, a snowy tale in January, a garden story in April. It also builds a year-round reading habit, one season at a time.
A Seasonal poem to share
A little summer poem to start the year’s reading:
The sun is up, the sky is wide, let’s go and play, let’s run outside! The grass is warm, the breeze is light — a summer day is pure delight.
