About A Year & a Day Issue No 22 Summer: Fire
A Year & a Day - A Waldorf-Inspired Seasonal Quarterly Magazine for Children
COMING SOON - Summer 2025 edition.
Fire is one of the four great elements, along with water, air, and earth. It keeps us warm on chilly days, cooks our food, and helps us make many useful things. On starry nights, it crackles and glows as people gather around campfires to share stories, songs, and laughter.
Fire is a friend—but it’s also powerful. If we’re not careful, it can grow wild and fierce, leaving nothing but ashes behind.
In summertime, when people light Saint John’s fires to celebrate the sun and the longest days of the year, we invite you to explore the wonders of fire with us. Together, we’ll journey through stories from around the world that tell how fire first came to humans.
