- Baker & Taylor
As four very different letters arrive at the playground, each makes the next feel unwelcome, but once they begin to swing together, they have a wonderful time. - Baker & Taylor
Racing to the playground to claim the swings, four letters of the alphabet spar and bully, making each other feel inferior, before kindness and empathy reshape their perspectives, helping them to form the word, âLOVE.â 60,000 first printing. Simultaneous eBook. Illustrations. - HARPERCOLL
Recess. A swing set. An argument. A resolution! Michael Hallâs transformative Swing is a celebration of friendship, joy, and kindness. Readers of all ages will look forward to seeing how four unlikely friends navigate their differences. A surprising and standout picture book from the acclaimed and bestselling creator of Red: A Crayonâs Story and Perfect Square.
Itâs recess! Four letters (O, V, E, and L) race to the playground to claim the swings. In several pages of recess banter and bullying, one letter is told itâs too round, one is from the wrong end of the alphabet, and one is a vowel and therefore not welcome.
What does it take to save the day? Kindness . . . and a heavenly and joyful swing. And what do the lettersâfriends now because of their shared experienceâspell when they finally come back to Earth? LOVE.
A story about sharing, acceptance, and kindness, this transcendent and colorful picture book will keep readers guessing while also introducing the letters of the alphabet. Swing is for anyone who loves to hop on a swing and fly to the sky.
