Ian Lucca pushes his dad’s legs on the park swing, whooshing high into the green trees.
The wind whistles past his ears as he leans back, eyes wide with thrill.
Thiago runs up and grabs the chain, pulling Ian Lucca down to a stop.
'My turn!' Thiago yells, tugging hard on the rope.
Ian Lucca stumbles back, watching his brother take over.
Thiago swings fast, then faster, kicking his legs out toward the sky.
He loses his grip and slides off the seat, landing softly in the grass with a thump.
Ian Lucca giggles at the sudden crash.
Mom pulls out a bright red kite from her bag, the string tangled tight.
Ian Lucca unties the knot while Dad holds the frame steady against the breeze.
The kite flutters its wings, eager to join the clouds above.
The kite catches a strong gust and shoots upward, dragging Ian Lucca and Thiago along behind it.
They run across the green grass, laughing as they are pulled toward the tall city buildings.
The whole family becomes one flying line.
