Bookroo's summary

A child's simple swing ride turns into an extraordinary adventure as they imagine soaring higher than giraffes, mountains, and even beyond Earth. With each push from an obliging dad, the sky becomes the limit. How far can imagination take them? This whimsical journey captures the boundless joy and wonder of childhood dreams.

From the publisher

The sky’s no limit in a witty picture book about a child on a swing and the wonders of the imagination. (Ages 2-5)

One child. One swing. An obliging dad. The inevitable plea to go “Higher! Higher!” Add Leslie Patricelli’s wildly expressive illustrations, and an everyday pastime reaches new heights of humor and whimsy. How high can it go? Higher than a giraffe? Taller than a mountain? Is Earth the final frontier? The creator of a popular series of board books rises to the occasion with an ingenious picture book of very few words that expresses the giddy glee of being pushed in a swing.
