Susan Weber, an early childhood expert and educator, is Director of Sophia's Hearth Family Center in Keene, New Hampshire. In this episode of SparkleCast, Susan, David, and Rebecca talk about how to develop the festival life of your household or classroom by incorporating rhythm and attention to the natural world. They discuss how the story “A Little Bit of Light” not only demonstrates the “lantern walk” festival that is popular during the autumn season, but how the parents in the story make room for the child to discover the truth of the festival all on her own.
