It Takes a Village celebrates Lathrup Village’s natural beauty, strong sense of community, and distinctive architecture through a vivid, storybook-inspired scene. At the center, a radiant tree with multicolored leaves rises above three homes set in lush gardens, its roots weaving through the landscape to symbolize how strength and resilience grow from diversity and deep connections to place. The homes reflect the city’s architectural character, while birds, butterflies, rabbits, and a watchful deer along a winding path highlight the interconnectedness of daily life in the village. Flowing lines and musical notes add a sense of movement and harmony, and a bold, joyful color palette captures the warmth and pride of those who call Lathrup Village home.
