Explore parks around the world—and how they welcome us—in this gorgeously illustrated nonfiction picture book, a companion to Marc Majewski’s acclaimed Bridges

Parks can be big or small, quiet or loud, sunny or snowy. Parks protect the natural world, but they’re also public spaces where anyone can explore, gather, and play. Whether they’re wildlife reserves or your local dog park, wide open spaces or places of quiet in the city, deep in a canyon or just around the corner, parks can be a refuge.

With poetic text and sweeping illustrations, Marc Majewski delivers a unique, accessible look at parks all around the world: from Central Park to the Serengeti to the Great Barrier Reef and everything in between.

Both informational and awe-inspiring, this gorgeously illustrated nonfiction picture book shows how parks of all kinds bring people, animals, and nature together.
