Inspired by the true story of the students at Glen Lake Elementary in Hopkins, Minnesota, A Swing for Samara shows the power of community and compassion and highlights the right for all children to have accessible playgrounds-the right that all children have to play.

Marco and Samara are best pals and have fun doing all sorts of activities together. But there's one thing they can't do together-swing. That's because wheelchairs don't fit on swings. So, Marco and the other kids at school decide to raise money for swings all kids can use. Inspired by the true story of the students at Glen Lake Elementary in Hopkins, Minnesota, A Swing for Samara shows the power of community and compassion and highlights the right for all children to have accessible playgrounds-the right that all children have to play.
