I am always a big supporter of anything that teaches our kids the healthy ways of being Pagan. Honestly, I can’t say as I’ve come across anything unhealthy. The Pagan community is filled with such warm and loving people, and the teachings are very warm and loving as well.As soon as I saw this set of books, I was super excited!

But there are tools that Ms. Ashwood provides to assist parents in KEEPING it interesting!One of the things that I absolutely love about this book, is that it’s a way for the parent and the child/children to bond. Everything is interactive. This isn’t the kind of book that you just hand to a child and say, “Here you go. Have fun. See you…
