"An uplifting, beautifully written story about possibilities and letting creative ideas play out freely" — Kirkus
“Hughes’ lively, poetic lines are nicely enhanced by Rooney’s luminous mixed-media illustrations, which lend a whimsical, fanciful sense of enchantment to the scenes with colorful swirls of imagery and details dancing across the pages. With its inviting, playful presentation, this is a charming ode to imagination and wonder and a celebration of the way nature can connect and delight.” — Booklist
“[A] joyous tribute to imagination-fueled play. Hughes’s spare lyricism proves a ready partner for Rooney’s mixed-media artwork. The result is a friendly communal examination of making’s magic.” — Publishers Weekly
In this buoyant picture book, three friends go to the park and their creativity spreads to everyone around them, into dance, chalk drawings, dramatic play and, when the day is over, inspirational dreams.
