The Swing in Spring

The Swing in Spring
A Quiet Story of a Playground Waking Up

All winter long,
the playground was quiet and still.
Then one day,
something small began to change.
Did the silent swing
start to move again?
This gentle picture book follows a swing
that feels spring arriving
before anyone else in the playground.
Turn each page
and watch the playground slowly come back to life.


Story One The Swing in Spring

All winter long,
the playground stayed still and quiet.
Then a warm breeze drifts in.
Something soft begins to move.
Spring is on its way.

Story Two The Day the Birds Came

Tiny dots appear in the sky.
Soon, birds fill the playground.
Wings flutter through the air.
The quiet space grows lively.


Story Three Sunshine Fills the Playground

Light slips through the clouds.
The slide begins to shine.
The sand starts to sparkle.
Little by little, the playground grows brighter.
When spring finally fills the air,
what will the swing look like now?


A Note to Readers

Spring does not arrive all at once.
It comes with
a soft breeze,
a flutter of wings,
and warm sunshine.
As you read,
listen for the sounds of spring waking up.
You might notice a swing
gently moving
at your playground today, too.
