Core texts include Purposeful Play: A Teacher's Guide to Igniting Deep and Joyful Learning Across the Day (Mraz, Porcelli & Tyler, 2016) and Let the Children Play: How More Play Will Save Our Schools and Help Children Thrive (Sohlberg & Doyle, 2019), and The Playful Classroom: The Power of Play for All Ages. (Dearbury & Jones, 2020).
