Description

"Paley has a sharp ear for the rhythm and inflections of childhood. Her vignettes give us a revealing glimpse into children's inner lives, and her discussion of her own discomfort with boy's play and approval of that of girls raises and important issue." Carole Wade, "Psychology Today" "I will admit my biases up front: having a three-year old daughter of my own made it impossible for this book to be anything but fun to read. I dare anyone who enjoys children "not" to enjoy this story about stories, this narrative about narratives." Jerry Powell, "Winterthur Portfolio""
