To The Playground
An afternoon passes, a week, a summer.
The days are long and the weather is hot. The world may be falling apart, but first there’s potty training. To The Playground is an ode to playgrounds and playground parents – a journey into the beauty, banality and anxieties of the longest shortest time.
