TWTBIM_0327 Something Magical About Pretend

from Teaching With The Body In Mind

Mike shares a glimpse of his new book as he leads a discussion about pretend play. There's something magical about the way children embody their ideas to express themselves and communicate with others.

Power in Pretend: Supporting Young Children's Power, Identity and Agency Through Play
