Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

One little boy can't wait to get to the park with Dad and Daddy. But oh no! The path is too icy. 'Careful or you'll slip', says Dad. The ropes are too high... 'Stop, or you might fall', says Daddy. Everything is too high, too fast, too slippery or too big. It's not fair!

But after some tears and a big hug, the boy has a brilliant idea. They will all play together at the playground and he will show Dad and Daddy what to do! On the ropes they're pirates, on the swing they are swooping birds, and on the roundabout they're superheroes.

What adventures will they have next?

'With Dad and Daddy by my side, I know I can do anything!'

A delightful, inclusive and empowering story, full of love and tenderness, based on the author's own family.
