Gryphon House Releases Seasons of Play: Natural Environments of Wonder

LEWISVILLE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#activities–Recent research has drawn the connection between children’s brain
development and time spent in the natural environment. Creating that
environment is daunting for many schools, but outdoor-play pioneer Rusty
Keeler
is determined to show that it’s doable, and the benefits last
children a lifetime.

Seasons
of Play: Natural Environments of Wonder
is Keeler’s newest book,
published by Gryphon House, Inc., the award-winning publisher of early
childhood parenting and teaching resources. Organized by season, the
book takes readers on a photographic journey through real child care
centers throughout the United States that have embraced Keeler’s
philosophy that natural play environments create new opportunities for
children to explore and grow.

Keeler’s
hand-drawn renderings show how play spaces can be designed, and
interviews with center directors offer insights from the schools making
the changes.

“The designs in this book are not overly complex, expensive, or hard to
build; they were built by hand by teachers, friends, and families,” Keeler
said. “It is a beautiful glimpse into what happens when adults say ‘yes’
to making their yard a place where children can explore, be challenged,
and grow freely.”

Seasons
of Play
is available now. To request a free excerpt or e-galley
copy, please contact anna@ghbooks.com

ISBN 978-0-87659-612-8; 216 pp.; PB; $19.95.
