Project Play is Marlene Byrne's initative to inspire families and neighborhoods to play games that spark creativity and foster the imagination. The first three books in the series (Follow the Leader, Treasure Hunt, and Just a Baseball Game) are beautifully-illustrated and teach young readers how to play classic backyard games. Byrne is releasing two more books this spring and fall (Kick the Can and Ghosts in the Graveyard), and it's a truly wonderful and engaging series for everyone.

Here's what reviewers and publications are saying:

·         Midwest Book Review – “highly recommended as a way to promote active, inexpensive entertainment…”

·         Armchair Interviews - “I think this is a really great series…”

·         Family Corner Forum – “skills learned from storybook scenarios spill over into a lifetime of creativity.”

·         Chicago Parent – “backyard play has been lost in the shuffle…”

·         Time Out Chicago – “introducing a new generation to classic playground fun.”

·         BusinessWeek – “she’s (Byrne) obsessed with bringing back games like follow the leader and kick the can.”
