Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Star-Child, and Other Plays These little plays have all been acted by children, mainly for the joy of pageantry, but, in part, to assist in the building of a children's settlement, a House of Happiness, where also they have been performed. The acting time of each play is about forty-five minutes. Eight rehearsals to a play is the average. The simpler the setting, in general, the better! Indoor scenes a plain brown burlap has been found the best for a peasant setting; for kingly scenes have a handsome curtain at the back, a dais and a throne. For out-of-door scenes hang a deep blue curtain; against this, if desired, place real palm, box or bay trees, or have the conventional shapes cut out of wood and painted a Noah's ark green. Although only the first play (Where Love Is, There God Is Also) mentions "Christmas," and three of the others arc Easter plays (The Life Beyond, A Spark Neglected Burns the House, and King Robert of Sicily), nevertheless, each play strives to carry the message of "On Earth, Peace, Good Will Toward Men."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's Dream of a Star They used to say to one another, sometimes, Supposing all the children upon earth were to die, would the flowers and the water and the sky be sorry? They believed they would be sorry. For, said they, the buds are the children of the flowers, and the little playful streams that gambol down the hillsides are the children of the water; and the smallest bright specks playing at hide-and-seek in the sky all night must surely be the children of the stars; and they would all be grieved to see their playmates, the children of men, no more.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flower and the Star, and Other Stories for Children Clumps of oaks with their old twisted bran ches, and long avenues of smooth-skinned beeches with their graceful boughs droop ing to the ground, and birches with their flickering foliage and white stems like silver in the sunlight; and there were many other trees besides. And the great boughs arched over like the roof of some grand cathedral; and the wind made music there; and the light played in and out among the leaves, leaping through the green windows, chas ing the wind. When the wind blew through the leaves, in came the light; and the wind shouted out, and the light laughed; and then the birds sang as if they were play mates too; and the children laughed, enjoy ing the forest pleasures. And the forest was so full of all sweet sounds, - the glad voices of happy creatures! Sometimes a wood-pigeon would Whisper coaxingly from the thickest part of the beech-trees, inviting them to come into the forest depths; and.

Download or read book Star Child written by Jennifer Martin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age four, author Jennifer Martins son, Kelly, was diagnosed with a rare inherited metabolic disorder, mucopolysaccharidosis, or MPS, which caused multiple complications throughout his life. He lived until the age of twenty-three, when he died of a sudden heart attack. In Star Child, Martin offers a poignant look at her bittersweet healing journey following her sons death. Martins heartfelt expressions in Star Child celebrate Kellys brief life and give grieving parents solace and support, allowing healing to begin. Star Child includes stories and poems that complement my writing. Each story and each poem were specifically chosen to be included because of their beauty, eloquence, grace, and power. The authors and poets featured here offer a sacred communion with their words, hearts, and the deep understanding of loss, pain, and love. Their words and sentiments echo a familiar song to my broken heart. Different stories, different wordsdifferent but, in the end, the same. In the words of Queen Elizabeth II, Grief is the price we pay for love. Jennifer Martin Praise for Star Child Star Child: A Mothers Journey through Grief, by Jennifer Martin, is a beautifully crafted tribute to a young sons life and death, which lands in the heart gently, like a feather from an angels wing. Maria Housden, author, Hannahs Gift: Lessons from a Life Fully Lived Star Child is a beautifully told story. Jennifer Martin has managed to speak of her deep loss without sentimentality. Instead, she creates space for the universal elements of loss and grief to find expression. Through her words, the tearing apart of one mothers heart moves toward a fierce resolve to find the deeper meanings in love and life. In grief, she writes, Something expands and contracts inside of you. It is a wise image. Then she submits her own pain to the expansion. Paula DArcy, founder, Red Bird Foundation; author, Song for Sarah: A Mothers Journey through Grief and Beyond and When Darkness Unfolds as Light

Download or read book The Birch and the Star written by Gudren Thorne-Thomsen and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birch and the Star: And Other Stories The realistic stories in this book, given for the first time to American children, were written in the Norwegian by Jorgen Moe and in the Swedish by Zacharias Topelius. Both authors have won fame in their native lands as writers of juvenile literature. Their works show sincere sympathy with child life and great power to interpret it artistically. Children need the realistic story side by side with the purely imaginative fairy tale, for the story true to human experience serves to bring about a proper balance between the ideas created by a world of fancy and those of the world of reality. The standard of literary merit is the same for both kinds of stories. Both must influence the child's life subtly and indirectly, not by moralizing or preaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Exercises which call into play the dramatic instinct are being used in many phases of school work, especially in the elementary grades. In these lower classes reading and language lessons are richly vitalized by the kind of activities which appeal to the child's natural impulse to imitate, to act a part.

Download or read book Stick and Pea Plays written by Charles Stuart Pratt and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stick-and-Pea Plays: Pastimes for the Children's Year What sort of play is the best sort of house-play for the child? If I could ask the mothers and fathers and teachers who think about such things, I should expect a reply somewhat like this: The best sort of house-play for the child is a play the child takes to naturally; a play the child can play largely by itself; a play that calls out the child's activities, trains the hand, educates the eye, exercises the judgment, stirs the imagination - and gives pleasure all the while; a play that yields something to take, to hold, to keep, to use; a play that leads readily to talks, and stories, and songs, with a beautiful lesson at the heart of them. Perhaps the first play-instinct of the child, when the little brain begins to think and the little hands to do, is in the making of mimic objects and the make-believe use of them. But the child is not merely imitative. The child is a Robinson Crusoe and a "Swiss Family Robinson" all in one. The child adapts the thing at hand to the need of the moment, to any end desired.
