Flora & the First Day of Spring – A Wheel of the Year Story for Young Witches

Welcome spring with Flora in this gentle story of resilience, ritual, and renewal. Flora & the First Day of Spring by Kathleen Converse offers young readers a relatable, magical tale centered around the spring equinox.

Although Flora plans a perfect celebration, things begin to go wrong. She spills paint, cracks eggs, and feels overwhelmed. Because of these small frustrations, her excitement turns into sadness and anger.

However, in Flora & the First Day of Spring, she doesn’t give up. Instead, she uses breathwork and grounding to soothe her body and center her emotions. Accordingly, her day transforms into something even more magical than expected. Flora learns that emotions can be powerful, but they can also be managed.
