The Genius of Play by Sally Jenkinson
When children play, they become creators, dreamers, and artists. Sticks become wands, swords, dolls, or snakes. Children move like quick fire from the fantastic to the everyday, when free to express the genius of play.

Here is an outspoken Children's Play Charter for parents and teachers, which celebrates the playful spirit of childhood. The author answers questions such as:- What do children express in their play?

- How does play develop children's imagination?
- Why do children need adults who encourage play?
