Malaguzzi’s motivation to develop the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education and care was in response to the devastation of the Second World War and the impact adults’ actions had on children. Therefore, Malaguzzi’s philosophy emerged from a time of adversity.  So what has this got to do with the newly published book: Developing your professional identity? The connection here is that the authors have written a book that acknowledges the disproportionate impact that the restrictions put in place to limit the spread of coronavirus have had on practitioners who work with children and their families. And they have seized the opportunity that has come out of adversity to produce an exceptionally useful book....\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Jackie Musgrave * University of Worcester *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e...
