Children don't dissolve in the rain

Part memoir, part manifesto, Children don't dissolve in the rain is about prioritising play. The importance of being playful, living playfully and being brave: trying things out, working things through and exploring feelings, nonjudgmentally engaging with humans with openness and creativity.    Adele draws from her own experiences with play - as a child, an aunt, a mother and a playworker - with lessons learned from Cuba, Cape Verde, Sweden, Canada, Ghana, Great Ormond Street Hospital
