| 520 | |a We accomplish extraordinary things when we do ordinary things together. This heartfelt and hopeful conviction led the author, an LSU professor, to begin the LSU Community Playground Project in an attempt to involve her students in the larger Baton Rouge community. Fifteen years and over seven hundred students later, this book tells the story of the Playground Project's ongoing partnership with area public schools to build safe, fun, accessible, kid-designed playgrounds. The author's experiences with the Playground Project range from outright failures to hard-won victories. Overcoming the challenges of working with scarce resources, the author and her students persevered - despite many setbacks. The author's accounts brim with hope, humor, and dedication. This book emphasizes the major impact people can have when they work together for the common good - whether by building playgrounds, establishing neighborhood gardens, or having honest, respectful conversations. | ||
