In this joyous celebration of childhood, photographer Laura Straus has collected fifty intimate black-and-white images of children at play and combined them with charming quotes from her subjects. For parents -- or anyone longing to recall what it is to see the world through the eyes of a child -- this book provides the perfect window: Boys and girls jump for joy, play dress up, share a secret, and laugh with abandon. In the uninhibited words that only a child can speak are jewels of wisdom about everything in the world, from the poetry of Jack, age seven, who defines a vibration as "a motion that cannot make up its mind which way to go" to the charming truth of three-year-old Eve's observation that "it is always darkest just before I open my eyes". A Child's World opens readers' eyes to the wonder of childhood again.
