Drawing on her 50 years in the early childhood field, Chenfeld pours forth uplifting reminiscences. She celebrates play, imagination, and the creativity of children and teachers alike. Every page displays the warmth and unflagging idealism that make her beloved by early childhood professionals everywhere. Softbound, 144 pgs.
