Description
A school playground can be a solitary place for a child without playmates. In fact, one survey found that 80 percent of children in this age group described feeling lonely at some point during the day. Patty Brozo's story brings a playground to life with its cast of imaginative kids. Mike Deas's illustrations add an extra layer of fun, with games featuring imaginary planes, dragons and elephants. But what makes this story special is how the kids match their imaginations with empathy, identifying and including the lonely among them. This book introduces the concept of buddy benches, which are becoming increasingly popular in schoolyards across the country. The idea is simple: when a child sits on the bench, it's a signal to others to ask them to play.
