The Streets Are Free by Kurusa
This was a cute book about some kids who live in this city that keeps growing leaving them with no where to play, so they play in the streets. People get mad at them for getting in the way on the street so they yell back 'but the streets are free'. But the adults dont listen, so the kids take their problem to city hall, and the mayor ultimately does nothing after promising to build them a playground. So the kids come together and inspire the community to come together to build the playground. It's a nice little story about fighting for what you want and what is important to you, in a realistic setting. It's cute.
