Overview

Originally published in 1983, Play is a Feeling is an exploration of the world of childhood, those first discoveries of sensation, movement, language and surroundings that are an essential part of the process through which children learn and develop. Brenda Crowe, with her amazing gift for recalling and interpreting the feelings of childhood, describes the nature of children’s fears, comforts, joy and distress which are expressed through play. At once stimulating and reassuring, this is a book that will stir memories and help many parents look at themselves and their children with fresh insight.
