Ow is a naughty gnome who is mean to people in order to hear them say his name: Ow!

But why is he mean?

And what happens when others are kind to him?

This modern fairy tale gives children a way to talk about how we treat others-and how we want to be treated.

Betty Staley, author of books on child, adolescent, and adult development writes this delightful meadowland fable in which the creatures try to guess the owl's riddle-Too hoo, too hoo, a bit of heaven on the earth.

Children will join to solve the riddle as each creature takes a turn. As often happens in real life, it is the lowliest creature whom others put down who is the real hero. At the end of the story, children learn how they can reveal the bit of heaven on the earth by themselves.

Illustrated extensively in black and white.

This work invites you to weave a design for your soul's journey, bringing together the colors and textures of your personality to reveal its pattern and meaning.

A comprehensive introduction to the temperaments, archetypes, and soul qualities as defined by Rudolf Steiner, Soul Weaving helps us to better understand ourselves and our relationship to the world.

Tapestries uncovers the unique patterns that you weave throughout life. At a time of immense interest in biography, here is a unique set of keys to understanding the pattern and rhythms of your life. The unfolding phases of life are presented as the warp of personal growth.

You are invited to consider the shuttle of the threads you use as the weft of your life story. These threads include your temperament, gender, love, family, ethnicity, birth order, and developing relationships.

A vivid picture of adult growth is presented. You can follow twelve very different people and their stories as they go through each life phase and wonder what will happen next. You can consider how you would respond to the choices they face. Life's dilemmas are explored: career versus parenting and choices related to old age. This opens up options: which roads to take in life and encouragement to reflect.

Setting out on the journey of adolescence is like taking a boat into turbulent waters, not knowing where one will end up. Will the boat capsize or find its bearing? Where is the rudder?

The community of adults in a high school environment is a community of trust in which we need to foster hope, belief in positive change, and commitment to serve the highest good. This is a teacher's charge, and one must never forget it.

Teachers are responsible for believing in adolescents' capacity for change and maturing and for transformation. When these qualities live in the souls of teachers in a high school community, adolescents are able to thrive and to face their own dark night of the soul and to pass through it and into the light.

This is an invaluable resource for teachers, as well as for parents and homeschooling. It offers the possibility of offering order and guidance for adolescents as they navigate the chaos of being teenagers on the verge of adulthood.
