"Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning...they have to play with what they know to be true in order to find out more; and then they can use what they learn in new forms of play."
Author-Fred Rogers of Mister Roger's Neighborhood
One of my favorite books is "Just me and my little brother", by Mercer Meyer. It is special to me because a teacher gave that book to my oldest son when he was going to be a big brother at the age of 14.
