<DIV>Recent research has drawn the link between children&rsquo;s brain development and time spent in the natural environment. Every child deserves a safe play to play, supportive adults to watch him grow, and an environment that offers her endless possibilities. In <I>Seasons of Play,</I> Rusty Keeler takes readers on a photographic journey through real child care centers that have embraced his philosophy that natural play environments create new opportunities for children to explore and grow.<BR /><BR /><I>Seasons of Play </I>promotes play among natural elements. Using the author&rsquo;s own photos, the book illustrates how to design natural play environments that encourage exploration and creativity in all seasons of the year. Keeler&rsquo;s own drawings complement the photos with renderings of how the play spaces were designed. Interviews with center directors add a personal touch to how the spaces improve learning at the centers. </DIV>
