I often recommend them, both as a starting point for new parents who are just beginning to study Waldorf Ed., and to more seasoned homeschoolers looking for curriculum ideas. Donna’s words are like an offer of a reassuring hand, to make me feel: ‘I can do it’ and to help me relax and know that my instincts are right.

She deeply understands developmental readiness, and her encouraging words have often helped me to observe my child with a fresh perspective, and to relax, knowing that I don’t need to push the learning process … Having Donna’s books to refer to is like having a wry and witty best friend, just an arm’s length away, ready to share her wisdom and encouragement.
