A book about staying close to the source of life while growing up in nature

The co-author of this book, Koh Moo-shin, plays with children in nature. Why in nature? All things that surround us and even we humans have their origin in nature. Playing with a handful of small rocks evolved into the jackstone game and building a tower with flat rocks or pieces of wood turned into the block building game. Isn’t it possible that children have fun riding a swing because they feel they become the wind itself when they rise up in the air against the wind? When playing in nature, we can discover sources of the joy that playing brings us. In a way, being a source also means that the range of ideas found in them are limitless. Therefore, the games children play when they are in nature are always slightly different and seem new whenever you see them. When playing in nature, children create games on their own. The act of creating a game can also be an exciting venture in itself.
