A Swing for Samara

32 pp. | North/Jolly | March, 2024 | Trade ISBN 9798218471880 $19.99
(3) K-3 Bunny Samara can’t speak and is one of several students who use wheelchairs. She and her friend Marco do many things at school together; the one thing they can’t do together is swing. In response, the students raise money for inclusive swings. Carlson’s bright illustrations capture the animal students’ joy and determination. An encouraging story about inclusiveness and youth activism inspired, as an appended note explains, by students at a Minnesota elementary school.
