This playful yet deep picture book is a celebration of community, nature, and the magic of cooperation. It's a busy evening at the local park and all sorts of people are taking advantage of the precious natural space. Whether biking or rollerblading, birding or dog walking, there should be room enough for everyone . . . so why does it seem like someone else is always in the way? Suddenly, a murmuration of starlings erupts from the treetops--one giant winged cloud swirls and spins across the sky, forcing everyone to stop and look up. And after this small, spectacular moment, the park's visitors begin to interact with a new appreciation for what nature and community add to their lives. With watercolor illustrations full of personality, movement, and life, this special story reminds readers of all ages that we have a lot to offer each other when we widen our perspectives. * "A remarkably original look at the awesome power of community." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review * "[An] optimism-inspiring story . . . highlighting the beauty of community formed through empathy." --Publisher's Weekly, starred review * "This slice-of-life story showcases what nature has to teach us easily frustrated humans about coexistence and community." --School Library Journal, starred review
