Welcome to Episode 380 of the Daughters of the Moon Podcast! As we welcome the beautiful turning of the seasons, we’re celebrating the first day of fall with author, therapist, and eclectic witch Kathleen Grace Converse, creator of the Wheel of the Year series of children’s books. Kathleen joins us to talk about her enchanting book Fern and the First Day of Fall, a story that invites children and families to slow down, notice the changing world around them, and connect with the rhythms, beauty, and magic of the seasons. The turning of the Wheel of the Year offers us wonderful opportunities to pause, reflect, celebrate, and reconnect with nature. In this conversation, we explore how seasonal stories can help children experience these transitions in meaningful and accessible ways. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, educator, storyteller, or simply someone who loves the changing seasons, this conversation offers a beautiful invitation to welcome autumn with curiosity and wonder.
