The mayor wants a community park and safe playground for the children. She
enlists a group of kids to join her in asking one of the citizens to donate some
of his land. When he agrees, he joins all the families and friends who set out
to build swings, benches, gardens, and a fountain. There is excitement and a
sense of purpose to build the park for all to enjoy. The whole town comes together to create a beautiful park and celebrate with a grand picnic and beautiful fireworks when the job is done.
The narrative text builds line by line and page by page, using repetition and
imagery to create a charming story for young readers. Vocabulary recognition
and matching pictures to the text help readers gain confidence in both
comprehension skills and predicting a sequence of events.
This book is available in both English only format as well as concept bilingual where the story is told primarily in English. Spanish is added to the story as
it pertains to the concept within the story.
