Park ''Baš me briga''

The children's picture book Park "Baš me briga" ("I Don't Care" Park) by Ivana Barković Bojanić (published in 2017 by Svjetla grada, with illustrations by Goran Kujundžić) is a heartwarming and educational story aimed at the youngest readers. Through an imaginative plot set in a park with a name that reflects the attitude of its visitors and residents, the author addresses contemporary social challenges—such as community neglect, a lack of empathy, and careless treatment of the environment—in an accessible way. As the story unfolds and the characters experience various events, the narrative gradually reveals the consequences of the "I don't care" mentality, transforming it into the realization that every individual's actions directly impact the quality of life shared by the community. The book combines simple, child-friendly language with striking visuals, making it an ideal resource for discussing fundamental life values. It encourages young children to develop environmental awareness, participate actively in their community, respect the needs of others, and adopt empathetic and responsible behavior toward their surroundings from an early age.
