I'm really excited about this book, because I hope it is the start of trend. Apart from the occasional 'teen witch' type book, there are very few books aimed at younger pagans out there, nor books for pagan parents wanting to teach their children about their faith.

Stafford's new book seeks to correct that, by telling a simple story of Aisha and her family and friends as they celebrate the eight pagan holidays (sabbats) over the course of a year.

In addition to teaching the child about the sabbats, the book also includes valuable lessons and a solid foundation for teaching children about pagan traditions and values using real-life, modern day situations.

The writing style is lovely and is perfect either as a 3rd grade reader or as a bedtime storybook for a parent to use to read to a child. I think the book could have benefited from having more pictures, but hopefully the success of this book will mean more books in this vein, and future authors (and perhaps Stafford herself) will produce chapter books that will correct this minor issue.
