Until the Streetlights Come On is a layman accessible and interesting monograph on outdoor play and positively counteracting kids' screen time, by Ginny Yurich. Released 14th Nov 2023 by Baker Publishing, it's 224 pages and is available in hardcover, audio, and ebook formats.
The author has a lot to say about play, and its importance to development and quality of life. She has a frank and open (often vulnerable and very honest) voice in writing and the end result is a readable, accessible, encouraging, and *real* book about play and development and how (and why) everyone needs more of it.
The book is fairly well annotated throughout and the chapter notes and references will provide many hours of further/specific reading for engaged readers, educators, and parents. This would be an excellent choice for public or home library acquisition, for educational curriculum, and for activity group leaders and facilitators. The author/publisher have included sets of interactive questions at the end of each chapter for further learning and discussion.
Four and a half stars. The publisher is a Christian imprint, but there is no proselytizing at all in the book.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
