More DescriptionA Guide to Inspire Creativity and Storytelling Through Nature by Diana Suskind with LeahCrandallPhotography and Paintings by Diana Suskindwith Illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds Stonework Play is an open-ended response to the invitation to work and play with stones. Stones are a kinesthetic medium, never fixed in their place or meaning, the ground an endless canvas and small hands the brushes that move them. Stonework Play is also a how-to book that guides its audience through predictable steps for telling stories with stones. It also recounts a history, beginning with its conception in Nepal. It includes selected stories of children working with the natural world of stones, and champions nature as an important resource for today¿s youth. Written in storybook style to appeal to all ages, this book delves briefly into pedagogy to complete an adult understanding. Stonework Play, your stepping-stone to a great natural adventure! Reviews I am grateful to Diana Suskind who started Stonework Play at HEMS School, Kathmandu, and explores the idea all over the globe. It is amazing how it benefits modern lifestyle. Since the era of Kishna, Rama and Buddha, everyone learns from stone¿ Diana inspires us to search such beauty of creation from a single stone. I love Diana and her work as `stone lady¿ Suresh Bhatta, Education Diplomat for HEMS School, Kathmandu, Nepal It is lovely to see the universality of simple, natural resources¿Children respond to natural resources so well¿stones have the history of the planet locked inside of them¿ and, like all good loose parts, they are open to any interpretation. Michael Follett, Director of Outdoor Play and Learning CIC, Bristol, England Works magically with all ages. Thank you Diana for creating an activity which¿ combines tactile connection with our earth, and quiet, thoughtful moments.
