A beautiful afternoon at the playground, but when it starts to rain, Dad calls out, "Come on, let's go home, Luca!" However, it's not as quick as Lucas's parents think. Just five more swings! Of course, there are also a thousand and one things to discover (flower petals), to pick up (pebbles), to save (slimy snails), and to jump into (muddy puddles). Mom and Dad get caught up in Luca's enthusiasm and experience an exciting journey home full of little adventures.
