Do you want to understand young children′s development in greater
depth? Would you like to see how they view the world around them, and
what they think the future might look like? Creativity in early
childhood is an area of fascination for all those working with young
children, and this book investigates why children create, and what
their creations mean. Chapters describe the processes and depict the
outcomes of meaning-making, and of making room for children′s voices
through the open-ended activity of drawing. Issues examined include: -
the increasingly popular use of multi-modal texts; - links between
creativity and literacy; - the importance of art in early childhood; -
concrete examples of children′s meaning-making, from the author′s
research. We see how non-verbal and verbal communication is used to
convey meaning, and how children′s voices emerge; the important role
imagination and narrative play in the early and continuing development
of children is emphasized throughout the book. Ideal for students of
early childhood, and for anyone working with young children, this book
is a revelatory guide to the mind of the young child.
