"Kings and Queens of the Forest" from the Martin & Sylvia's Nature School collection.

This week's featured story comes from the Martin & Sylvia's Nature School collection. It's called "Kings and Queens of the Forest." When Martin leaves for Wilderness School, he can't help but feel envious for Sylvia's project with Daddy: preparing for May Day by building a huge bonfire and cooking Beltane Bannock Bread. This has his attention all morning until Eva gives his group an inspiring May Day question: What kind of King or Queen of the Forest do you want to be? His answer helps Martin understand not only the gift of May Day, but of leadership itself. If you enjoyed that story, there are hundreds and hundreds more where that came from.
