Sara Stein interweaves her own observations with those of linguists, biologists, anthropologists, and psychologists to reveal the world through the eyes of a child -- illuminating the features that their nature leads them to expect (but that contemporary life often disappoints): a place they will come to know intimately through their own explorations, a chance to develop real skills in their play, and adults who pass along, through explanation and myth, a way to comprehend the relationship between nature and culture. She shows how we can restore such pathways to adulthood in our own homes and backyards.
