Prelude to a manual, curated by the Istituzione Preschools and Infant-toddler Centres of Reggio Emilia Municipality, and Reggio Children, an anticipation of the manual on the language of clay to be published by Reggio Children in 2020. The book will offer technical information and educational suggestions by starting from projects developed together with children in the infant-toddler centres and preschools, and with older children and adults frequenting the atelier at the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre.
