<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong> </strong><strong>Recess. A swing set. An argument. A resolution! Michael Hall's transformative <em>Swing</em> is a celebration of friendship, joy, and kindness.</strong> 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 <em>Red: A Crayon's Story</em> and <em>Perfect Square</em>.</p> <p>It's 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 it's too round, one is from the wrong end of the alphabet, and one is a vowel and therefore not welcome.</p><p>What does it take to save the day? Kindness . . . and a heavenly and joyful swing. And what do the letters--friends now because of their shared experience--spell when they finally come back to Earth? LOVE.</p><p> 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. <em>Swing</em> is for anyone who loves to hop on a swing and fly to the sky. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A simple and intuitive story of acceptance and love. . . . [A] crowd-pleaser for schools, families, and libraries alike."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"Effective and charming . . . Another positive title for the anti-bullying shelf."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"The text's repetition and simple vocabulary are . . . helpful in highlighting . . . abstract concepts such as kindness and acceptance of others. . . . An impressive range of expression and emotion."--Horn Book Magazine<br>
