Eight Guardians. One turning year. Two children who learn how to listen.
When snow falls too soon...
When the sun burns too long...
When storms split the sky...
When wind strips the trees bare...
Mila and Yuri begin to notice what others ignore.
Across one unforgettable year, the siblings encounter eight ancient Guardians inspired by Slavic seasonal folklore - Veles of winter roots, Jarilo of spring green, Perun of storms, Mokosh of harvest, and more.
Each appears not to punish, but to reveal the hidden order beneath change.
This illustrated chapter book for ages 6-12 follows one continuous year from winter to hearthfire. Perfect for reading aloud, each story deepens as the children learn that waiting is alive, storms restore, harvest is woven by many hands, and light can live inside darkness.
Ideal for:
- Families who love mythology and nature-based stories
- Cozy bedtime chapter books
- Classroom seasonal units
- Children who enjoy folklore grounded in real-world emotion
With a memorable refrain - Remember - the year is turning. - and a small white bird hidden in every chapter, this collection invites young readers to search, listen, and grow alongside the seasons.
The Slavic Guardians of the Seasons is a timeless celebration of change, courage, and the quiet strength that holds the world together.
