Book Overview

by Dolisha Mitchell (Author)

Play is powerful! Play is creating, exploring, sharing, and caring. Whether it's inside or outside, quiet or loud, alone or with friends--there are so many ways to play. Featuring beautiful photos of all the inclusive ways kids and families play (like using imagination, creativity, adaptive devices, and musical instruments), How We Play shows us that the most powerful tool for learning is playing.

  • Complete with family discussion questions and a guide detailing the games, toys, and tools seen on each page.
  • See kids using hearing aids, prosthetics, and their imaginations!
  • See kids playing games, exploring nature, playing dress-up, and playing alone.
  • Created for 0-5-year-olds the book's photographs help infants, toddlers, and preschoolers celebrate faces, bodies, and limbs that are both different and like their own.

How We Play helps families and educators discuss physical and mental disabilities, inclusive play, and culture.
