About the Book
This is a second edition of a collection of now 87 verses, written for children in the Waldorf school. This type of verses is often referred to as Personal, Pedagogical Verses, or Birthday Verses, as the child will sometimes receive them on their birthday. Whatever the name, they are pedagogical verses spoken aloud by the child to their class once weekly.
The verses are very different of character. Some have the form of meditations, some evoke strong imagery, and others are more focused on words in relation to speech. That is because each verse is written with an individual child in mind, trying to support a specific purpose each time.
This selection of pedagogical verses is meant as an encouragement and an inspiration for Waldorf Teachers to try this strong, pedagogical tool themselves.

Born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Arne Kaiser soon moved to Norway. It was from his 10th year, after moving to the city of Bergen, that he attended a Waldorf school, in what he describes as an excellent experience. Eighteen years old he moved back to the Netherlands, where he met his future wife. After several career paths, he earned his B.A. in Waldorf Education. He taught at the Geert Groote School in Amsterdam, a Waldorf school, for a number of years, until he and his wife -also a Waldorf teacher- moved to Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2002, where they taught at Pine Forest School, a Waldorf-inspired charter school. For most of these years he was happily teaching the older elementary school students, until a need in the school in 2010 had him take a 1st grade. In 2015 they moved to Maui, Hawai'i, to teach at the Haleakala Waldorf School. It has been a joyous journey, that has expanded him personally and professionally. After 20+ years teaching, he still loves his profession!
