Waldorf Pupil & Mother Publish Children's Book
|
|
This new picture book for young children is beautifully illustrated by Zephir Delamore, a pupil at fellow Waiheke Island Steiner School in New Zealand.
The author, Vibhusha, is also a Waldorf Kindergarten Teacher at the school.
Each of the 36 pages are full colour pictures with the story written into them. Zephir’s drawings,

|
coloured in watercolour by Vibusha, hover between cartoon and fairy story.
Hector is a young dragon who is different. He cannot breath fire. But can he do something else?
Follow Hector's adventures as he stuggles to come to terms with who he is and enjoy the wonderful discovery that he makes.
|
|
|
|
"The character of Hector, his parents and friends (and a surprise at the top of a mountain) come off the page and draws one warmly (in spite of the fact that Hector cannot breath fire!) into a lively imaginal world.
The tale is a delight, the pictures come alive; take a step away from the concerns of daily life, bathe in the story of Hector and return refreshed! (And that is just for the adults… young children will love Hector!)" New Review
This can be purchased in the UK here.

The Art and Design Studio, based at Orwell Arts in Edinburgh, enables individual artists to develop and exhibit their work. The artists have access to high quality materials and support, giving them space to explore and express their creative voice.
Artists with learning disabilities face a number of barriers to the mainstream art world. Garvald Edinburgh endeavours to break these down by focusing on their abilities and showcasing the quality, diversity and warmth of their work.
A selection of these art works can now be purchased through their online shop. Garvald Edinburgh is a registered charity which has been supporting adults with learning disabilities in the Edinburgh area since 1969.
Their work is inspired by the ideas of Rudolf Steiner and is committed to an approach which recognizes the uniqueness of each person and their hopes, aspirations and contributions.
