Bev Bos

This book is dedicated to Bev Bos whose

philosophy, ¡°Children Learn Best Through Play,¡±

inspired countless children to climb trees with

courage, splash with joy in the mud, laugh with

friends while painting on plexiglass easels,

shout out lyrics for silly autoharp songs, and

experience a sense of authentic belonging,

safety, community, and, most importantly, an

overwhelming feeling of love in her presence.
