When my children were young, we spent a lot of time at the park. We had our favorites, but one

park in particular always sparked their imaginations. It was a magical place where their pretend

adventures knew no bounds. As I watched them play, running and laughing, my own

imagination began to run wild. What if their make-believe adventures were real?

There was even a playful squirrel that would join in, and the kids would pretend it was a

monster, racing away in fits of laughter. I imagined the slide as a thrilling escape route, and the

monkey bars as a bridge over a dangerous swamp. Before I knew it, the story practically wrote

itself in a matter of minutes.

After holding onto this idea for over 20 years, I'm excited to finally share it with you. I hope you

enjoy this fun and adventurous journey, sparked by a simple day at the park and a ray of

sunshine
