Shut down your computer. Put away the toys. And share a piece of Bubblegum.

From the Author:

When I was little, my parents constantly encouraged me to turn off the TV and find something else to do. I’m grateful for that. I turned blankets into tents, boxes into cars, dark hallways into haunted houses and bedrooms into schoolrooms. With "The Things A String Can Be," we want to show children that entertainment can come from more than TV, video games, computers and hi-tech toys.
