We Go to the Park: A Picture Book

English

By (author): Sara Stridsberg

Translated by: B.J. Woodstein

Illustrated by: Beatrice Alemagna

We Go to the Park is a beautiful, lyrical meditation on going to the park to playwhich extends into a reflection on life itselffrom Booker Prize-longlisted author Sara Stridsberg, and the inimitable, award-winning illustrator Beatrice Alemagna!

Translated from Swedish by B.J. Woodstein

The park beckons us to leave our daily routines behind and enter its zone of endless possibility. In the park, the usual rules dont 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 connectionhowever fleetingwith others, nature, and ourselves.

Originally published in Sweden, this first Englishlanguage 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.
