(goodreads summary)
How could a book with such simple lyrics and illustrations capture my heart the way it did? Mainly by the author portraying the feelings of a young girls imagination through beautiful illustrations and taking me back to my own childhood, swinging for hours on the backyard swingset. This book is charming with its poetic verse guiding the girl on a daydream adventure through her backyard. The illustrations were done by a colorful etching process and the girls facial expression tells the moment, reminding us of being a carefree child once again. This story enlightened my spirit and put a smile on my face. The lyrics are quite short but would make for a peaceful bedtime or quiet time read. A great book for getting that imagination flowing. I think this would be a "just right book" for ages 4-8.~
