Who Will Play?




Children’s stories can reveal very deep truths of human psychology (and probably animal as well). For instance, the protagonist of Leslie McGuire’s Who Will Play With Little Dinosaur? searches for companionship because his mother can’t play with him. The second we are born we are both intimately attached and destined to leave our family, specifically our mothers. My wife, through her hard work, has been able to give Scarlett a full-time playmate in myself. I want her to play with other children and that will come. But for now I am happy that we can wrestle, play with blocks, and all the other wonderful things that come with a child Scarlett’s age.
