I wrote the following four rengay with my daughter, Sarah, one for each of the four seasons. We wrote “A Winter’s Tale” first, in 2014, when Sarah was eight years old. “A Summer’s Tale” came next, in 2015, when she was nine. We wrote “An Autumn Tale” in 2019, when she was 13, and “A Spring Tale” in 2024, when she was 19. See also “Giving Thanks,” about Thanksgiving, written in 2016 when Sarah was ten. Next we need to publish a new year rengay!
