Now plant trees along the boulevard, paint a mural by the empty lot, and add a community garden. Set up benches along the sidewalks and make space for kids' chalk drawings, and you've set the scene for a thriving community. Placemaking--personalizing public and semi-private spaces like front yards--is a growing trend in cities and suburbs around the world, drawing people out of their homes and into conversation with one another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKids are natural placemakers, building tree forts, drawing on sidewalks and setting up lemonade stands, but people of all ages can enjoy creative placemaking activities. From Dutch families who drag couches and tables onto sidewalks for outdoor suppers to Canadians who build little lending libraries to share books with neighbors, people can do things that make life more fun and strengthen neighborhoods. \u003ci\u003eHome Sweet Neighborhood\u003c\/i\u003e combines upbeat text, fun facts and colorful photos to intrigue and inspire readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orca Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781459816916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 8.30w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2018 pg. 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michelle Mulder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36651785519260,"sku":"9781459816916","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_09e04405-50a8-4e0b-951e-0665e51872ce.jpg?v=1603878345","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/home-sweet-neighborhood-transforming-cities-one-block-at-a-time-9781459816916","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
