Description:

One child. One swing. One very obliging dad. And a simple, irresistible two-word request: Higher! Higher! What begins as a perfectly ordinary afternoon at the playground gradually becomes something far more extraordinary. As Dad keeps pushing, the little girl on the swing soars past a giraffe's head, over rooftops, above mountaintops, and right past an aeroplane — until she's floating among the stars and trading a high five with a cheerful one-eyed alien on her very own space swing! This Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor winner by Leslie Patricelli uses barely a handful of words and her wonderfully expressive, cheerful cartoon illustrations to capture the giddy, breathless joy of swinging higher and higher — and the limitless power of a child's imagination. A multiple-starred-review picture book that parents and toddlers everywhere will want to read again and again — and again!
