In the park, the usual rules don't apply. In the park, what matters most is the moment, and losing track of time to the timelessness of imagination, invention, observation, and chance. In the park, there are risks, of course, but also the deepest rewards, to be found in the freedom experienced through play that is both embodied and participatory. It is not the lone \"I,\" but the \"we\" that goes to the park, where chance encounters might suddenly become moments of deep connection--however fleeting--with others, nature, and ourselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Originally published in Sweden, this first English-language edition printed in Italy on thick cream paper offers an immersive experience of transformation, longing, and transcendence to readers of all ages, while reminding adult readers in particular of the everyday miracle contained in encountering another consciousness. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B J Woodstein, Sara Stridsberg, Beatrice Alemagna","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46335293882604,"sku":"9781592704071","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781592704071.jpg?v=1743638016","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/we-go-to-the-park-a-picture-book","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
