Inspired By Novel...1.) Jess & Leslie are drawn together as friends because they both feel different.
- Emotinally traumatized kids feel are often left out due to their behaviour, this makes them feel that they are being rejected because of being different.
2.) Jess & Leslie come to respect and support each other.
- Our playground is specially designed for emotionally traumatized kids for the same reason. We want our playground to be able to teach them learn and help each other learn how to love, care, respect, react to one another.
3.) From the novel, Terabithia is an imaginary magical kingdom.
- Our "Terabithia" is designed for the same goal. We want them to be able to draw strenght from our playground, feeling strong and free.
- Making them step out of their comfort zone. It is a place to feel safe and free to be who they are, and for the first time, they dare to feel great for themselves.
- We designed and build our playground to be as warm and as encouraging as "Terabithia"!
