Abstract
Reviews the book, Play and Health in Childhood: A Rights-Based Approach by Julia Whitaker and Alison Tonkin (2023). This book addresses a critical issue: the increasing constraints on children's opportunities for play in contemporary society. By adopting a rights-based approach, the authors highlight the ethical and legal responsibilities involved in advocating for children's right to play. The book skillfully weaves together theoretical discussions and practical case studies, illustrating the interconnectedness of children's rights to play and their rights to health. Although primarily targeted at scholars and practitioners in child development, education, health care, and social work, this work also offers significant insights for policymakers, educators, health care providers, and community leaders.
