Seasonal Verses, Poems, and Songs for Autumntime Living

Autumn Songbook by Sally Schweizer is a richly gathered anthology of songs, verses, and poems that support autumn rhythms in family life, classrooms, and homeschool settings.

This volume reflects the changing tone of the year as summer fades into autumn, offering language that meets children through nature, work, weather, and seasonal celebrations. The collection is thoughtfully organized into five thematic sections—Animals and Birds, Farming & Harvest, Festivals and Related Themes, Weather, and Spooks, Riddles, and Odd Things—followed by an appendix that extends the book’s usefulness. Together, these sections provide ample material for singing, recitation, movement, and playful speech throughout the autumn season.

In addition to its wide selection of verses and songs, the book offers meaningful support for adults. Parents and teachers will find selections of rhyming words, reflections on the importance of repetition, rhythm, and beat, suggestions for incorporating movement and gesture, and practical teaching and parenting tips. These elements make the book especially valuable for those working within a Waldorf-inspired or rhythm-based approach to early childhood and the early grades.
