Play is what kids do best—and how they learn best, too.
And toy giant FAO Schwarz is pretty much the authority on
play. So when we sat down with executives at FAO Schwarz and

of Play emerged quite naturally. In addition to working
with the author and design team to shape the book, we produced
the photography for this gorgeous celebration of the fun part
of parenting. DK Publishing, Fall 2008 |
