Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have never wanted to grow up and stop playing. I have never wanted to stop playing outside with my friends, and I have never wanted to stop playing with my iPad. I have always tried to maintain a connection to the sense of play that I remember from my childhood. #2 My mother, Rosalie, was married to my father, Anthony Tony Masciarelli, in 1932. They had a small house in Pelham, just north of the Bronx, with my mother's parents, who helped with the payments. My father worked as an art director, and my mother taught dance in New Rochelle at the Arcaro Dance School. #3 My mother, who was very afraid of fires, was deathly afraid of pregnancy, and she and my father had to move out of their apartment in the Bronx. They moved into a two-bedroom apartment in the Bronx, and my mother started her own dance school.
