The Diary of Laura
August 29, 2008
This beautiful book chronicles the journey of one young girl’s first months in an infant-toddler program in Reggio Emilia, Italy. Photographs and affectionately written notes detail 11-month-old Laura’s growth, discoveries, and milestones in the program, offering a unique perspective her early child care experience.
Originally published in 1983, this is the first time the diary is available in English. This edition also includes new photos of Laura as an adult with her family and her original teachers, as well as reflections and commentaries by recognized Reggio Emilia experts from around the world.
There are few Reggio-inspired materials focused on the infant and toddler years, making this an ideal resource for educators, parents, and anyone interested in the approach; it can be used as a model for observation and family-centered programming.

Sera Beak
Sera J. Beak is a Harvard trained scholar of comparative religions and mysticism and an intrepid spiritual cowgirl who’s spent the last dozen years traveling the world exploring spirituality–from whirling with Sufi dervishes to meeting the Dalai Lama on her 21st birthday; from taking the host from a Croatian Catholic mystic who had the stigmata (truly) to having life-altering visions with a shaman, and just about everything in between. She’s lived in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Cambridge, India, Nepal, Tibet, and Turkey, and now resides in San Francisco. She’s as comfortable talking about the pagan history of religious traditions, energy healing, and esoteric metaphysics, as I am about designer jeans, sex toys, and holistic health.
Her first book, The Red Book: A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach To Igniting Your Divine Spark, was published in the summer of 2006 (Jossey-Bass). Current projects include starting a Redvolution, writing a Red series, holding Redvolution Workshops and making a Redvolution film.
