Daniel Udo de Haes, translated by Barbara Mees
By the author of The Creative Word, this thought-provoking book takes up the question of the nature and significance of traditional singing games and how they can be played in an age-appropriate way with young children. The deeper meaning of these seemingly simple games is brought to light, along with an understanding of the importance of a gradual and healthy awakening from the "childhood dream." Delightful examples from the author's Dutch heritage are included, many newly translated into English.
