Playing War by Kathy Beckwith Tilbury House Publishers, Gardiner ME, 2005 "In these times, when violence and war are constantly in the news, children need our help sorting out the fantasy of war play from the painful realities of war. By bringing up the impact of war on one child, who gets upset when his friends engage in war play, and showing us his friends’ caring responses, Playing War does what no other children’s book before it has done. It provides the forum adults and children need to feel safe talking about the real human impact of war." Diane Levin, Ph.D. Professor of Education and author of Teaching Young Children in Violent Times and The War Play Dilemma Named a "Children's Pick" for the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association "The strength here is Lyon's watercolor illustrations in summer greens, golden yellows, and coppery browns that evoke the heat of warm days spent with friends."
