Energetic text and a bold palette turn a local urban park into a multi- sensory adventure. McQuinn & Hearson are, as ever, perfectly tuned in to the rhythms, phrasings, and cadences of a toddler’s immediate world. Dr. Fen Coles, Letterbox Library – Not for-profit children’s bookseller www.LetterBoxLibrary.com ; Join Zeki for summertime at the park – riding on rockers, shovelling in the sandpit and stomping in the splash pad – there’s so much fun afoot with playdate Yu! This delightful, inclusive picture book, with expressive rhythmic text and vibrant illustrations, shows the joy of early childhood play within a 21st-century setting.  Inclusive Books For Children "Shortlisted for the Inclusive Books for Children Awards 2024" www.InclusiveBooksForChildren.org
