The Golden Flower — Montessori Cosmic Education
There are increasingly great titles to share for the experience of creation stories from various traditions. The latest book that is simply remarkable is The Golden Flower: A Taino Myth from Puerto Rico by Nina Jaffe, illustrated by Enrique O. Sanchez. It’s such a rich and lovely tale of the people who came to live on a verdant mountain top after a great flood sprung right out of a beautiful gourd that had been a stunning flower. The colors are Mediterranean, there are forms that evoke the Aztecs. Much sun and light and creation is here for the enjoyment of all.
