About the Book



Inspired by the true story of the students at Glen Lake Elementary in Hopkins, Minnesota, A Swing for Samara shows the power of community and compassion and highlights the right for all children to have accessible playgrounds--the right that all children have to play.



Book Synopsis



Marco and Samara are best pals and have fun doing all sorts of activities together. But there's one thing they can't do together--swing. That's because wheelchairs don't fit on swings. So, Marco and the other kids at school decide to raise money for swings all kids can use.

Inspired by the true story of the students at Glen Lake Elementary in the Hopkins school district in Minnesota, A Swing for Samara celebrates the power of compassion and inclusion and highlights the many ways accessible playground equipment benefits all children.



Review Quotes




"Teachers may find this book to be a good addition for a social emotional unit on compassion, empathy, and inclusion." --Children's Literature



"While the illustrations portray the characters in this appealing picture book as dressed animals (Marco and Samara are rabbits), the story was inspired by actual events at an elementary school in Minnesota. . . . A moving, original picture book." --Booklist



"A welcome and unreservedly recommended pick. . . . A Swing for Samara is a fun, inspiring, memorable, and thoroughly 'kid friendly' read from cover to cover." --Midwest Book Review
