Children's birthdays are a time of reflection to look back over the last year, and remember the day they arrived in the world. The Waldorf tradition is to tell the birthday story -- the tale of a little soul who crossed the rainbow bridge, came to earth, found a loving family and became the birthday boy or girl.



The birthday story has been told for generations and holds a unique place in the hearts and memories of thousands of families. Through the Rainbow is a faithful and inspiring retelling of the most well-known version of the story by parenting coach and Waldorf parent Lou Harvey-Zahra, and is accompanied by soft, ethereal illustrations by Waldorf artist and teacher Sara Parrilli.



This beautiful picture book can become part of a family's traditions, read every year to celebrate a child's special day. Through the Rainbow can be personalised, making it unique for each birthday child.

David ★★★★★

The story’s gentle rhythm perfectly captured how our son came to us, and my wife and I both got a little teary reading it aloud. The soft illustrations on each page gave my five-year-old just enough to look at without distracting from the tale.

Andrew ★★★★★

We used this for our daughter's sixth birthday, and the soft narrative about her journey to earth made everyone tear up a little. The hardcover binding is sturdy enough for little hands to help turn the pages.

Richard ★★★★★

The story's gentle, cosmic journey from a star to a child made my little one ask for it every night. It's such a lovely, simple way to mark their birthday milestone without any hype.
