Product Description
Come and Play features 32 photographs of children from everywhere! China, Japan, Greece, Wales, Morocco, Oman, Texas, New York, and many more. Each photo is beautiful, thought provoking, and accompanied by lines of children’s poetry that will amuse young readers, and cause adult readers to reflect and laugh as they see the images through children’s eyes. The photographs span the last fifty years; while the children who wrote about them are a diverse group between the ages of 5 and 11.

Three Silly Chicks Review November 15, 2008
We chicks have never had any use for "coffee table" books, given that (a) we can't even find our coffee table, due to the heeps of books we have stacked all over the coop, and (b) the idea of books being used primarily for decoration or pretense tends to ruffle our feathers in the worst way. But gosh darnit, if we could find our coffee table and if we did put just one book on it for show, it might very well be this one.
Come and Play is a gorgeous photo collection of children all over the world having a blast doing what kids do best: playing. Chilean kids hanging from monkey bars. Chinese goobers playing ping pong. Norwegian peanuts building an ice sculpture. Accompanying poems written by elementary students in editor/teacher Ayana Lowe's classes in New York City provide the perfect, child-friendly complement to the luminous photographs.
We dare you to flip through the pages of this book and not feel like planet earth would be a better place if we could all play a good game of freeze tag together, or paddle around the world's shorelines in styrofoam boxes. And we bet you a pint of whoppers that you (and the kids in your life) can't get through this book without a huge smile on your face. Come on, try it. Come and play. You'll be glad you did!
