Designed for students majoring in early childhood, psychology, child development, or education, The Pips of Child Life Series is a two book series that offers a glimpse into the early play activities and programs in hospitals and the women who led the way through the late 1990s. Editors Joan Turner and Civita Brown relate the development of child life to universal theories, world events, and changes within the field of health care.

As the first collection to explore these changes, The Pips of Child Life: Early Play Programs in Hospitals spans the history of play programs starting in the 1900s, a time when pediatrics was just beginning to become accepted as a medical specialty and interest in the well- being of children was advancing—through to the 1970s.
