Illustrated by
Beatrice Alemagna.
This picture book with appeal to older readers captures the magic and wonder of a park as a place of limitless possibilities, imagination, and connection to nature. The park is a sanctuary from the world’s chaos, where time stretches, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The poetic text, paired with striking, dreamlike naïve-style art in intense colors, offers a meditation on longing and childhood’s fleetingness. A heartfelt celebration of the natural world, friendship, and the unknown.
