This book is very inspiring.
I want to share it long time ago.
But,
simply post the cover is not enough...
think over and over.
Maybe start with this.

" That exuberant curiosity is children's most important learning asset..."

"Unfortunately,
kindergarten for us,
and for most of the generations born in this century,
was a distortion,
a diluted version of what originated as a radical and highly spiritual system of abstract-design activities intended to teach the recognition and appreciation of natural harmony.
Kindergarten's universal,
perfect,
alternative language of geometric form cultivated children's innate ability
to observe,
reason,
express,
and create."

"...childhood is a sacred period of human development,
that the child's own empirical explorations are the engine of the expanding mind..."



I'm obsessed with blocks.
Below are pictures inside the book.



And, these beautiful blocks are from the other sites.
