Let's Build a Playground

This nonfiction picture book documents the real-life process of a community building a playground with the national nonprofit KaBOOM!. It begins with 'Design Day,' where children from the neighborhood draw their ideal play spaces. The story then follows the adult volunteers as they plan logistics and raise funds. The climax is 'Build Day,' a single, whirlwind day where hundreds of volunteers arrive to assemble the entire playground. The book concludes by showing the diverse community joyfully using the space they created together, highlighting the pride and connection forged through the project.
