Spitz makes clear that in a young child’s mind there are no distinctions between art and nature, between reality and make-believe: every encounter—looking at a blade of grass, watching Bambi, decorating a bedroom—is experienced in both a child’s private world and a domain of shared adventure. By exploring the sensory, perceptual, and imaginative lives of children, Spitz shows how this aesthetic growth intersects with emotional development and how, by carefully observing what holds their attention, we can not only promote children’s growth but also learn from them, rediscovering our own world through their wide-open eyes.

This remarkable book will be required reading for parents, child-care professionals, and educators—for anyone interested in the seeds of the young imagination and the life of the young mind.]]> 1553509 1 1545936 21 2 2006 The Brightening Glance: Imagination and Childhood total:4|5:2|3:1|1:1| 4 14 7 1 160161 3.41 17 6 22536670 863782 1553509 0375420584 9780375420580 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185122873m/1553509.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185122873s/1553509.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1553509.The_Brightening_Glance_Imagination_and_Childhood 3.50 4
