Notes from the Playground

Number of Pages 156
Type Paperback
Notes from the Playground documents how childhood experiences — especially those that happen on the blacktop — shape who we become. These narratives arise from one principal’s epiphany that came as he looked out over a hundred children, playing, running, yelling, laughing, and crying. He recognized that he stood in a place where millions of journeys begin. He had found the starting point for countless destinies. He went forward with a different vision for how we can, by affirming the child within ourselves and one another, make our lives truer and more vital than we might have imagined.Notes from the Playground documents how childhood experiences especially those that happen on the blacktop shape who we become.
