In Sylvia Chard and Yvonne Kogan’s beautiful new photography book, children discover the world through play, experience, investigation and relationships.

For as long as the sun is up, children’s minds and bodies are seldom still. They are continuously acting and reacting, thinking and speaking, anticipating and reflecting. 

Children gain so much simply by living their world.

“...Sylvia Chard and Yvonne Kogan take us back into our own childhoods, but more importantly, they enable us to recognize, even to name, the child like qualities we as human beings need to preserve as we grow up.”

From the Foreword by Ina Hughs, newspaper columnist and author of A Prayer for Children, Storylines, and A Sense of Human

“Childhood is where our tools for survival are discovered and sharpened: curiosity; acceptance of others; imagination; appreciation of time and place; sense of adventure; and determination that does not give in to challenges, but recognizes inevitable limitations.”

From the Foreword by Ina Hughs.
