Publisher Description
Each step leads to a new discovery in this evocative picture book about how mindfulness, peace, or change could be just around the corner.
To take a walk is to begin a journey. It can be an adventure or a chance to let your thoughts roam and be one with nature. It can be a time for daydreaming and pondering life’s many questions. It can be a time to reflect on the past or to stand up for a better future. So take a step and see where your journey will lead you!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Walking becomes an entry point into deliberate living in this meditative picture book. With each step, "You begin a journey./ You find your balance.// You greet the world, wide and full," read opening lines. In accompanying grayscale digital illustrations, pops of color appear across magenta footwear that acts as a visual through line. Mary-janes "crunch fall leaves" and high tops "share a path," while other styles are featured in both urban and rural environments. Some scenes have a more social dimension, as in one picturing a hiker surrounded by the shadows of those who have walked before (including a dinosaur). Though the concept is simple—even a single step can empower—it uplifts via Deeney Murguia's polished execution. Ages up to 8. (Sept.)
