Beautifully illustrated with photographs documenting the project, this is an account of transforming an old playground at an Indianapolis charter school with the help of the nonprofit organization KaBoom! It's unclear who's narrating the story and the text mixes fanciful ideas with the practicalities of designing and building, but overall it's an inspiring, empowering story. Text boxes include interesting details about measuring and materials.
