A walk through their bustling city neighborhood brings a girl and her grandfather closer together in this gentle, contemplative picture book that’s “a reminder of the importance of being in the world with unhurried attention and open hearts” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
A child and her grandfather step out of their brownstone and take a walk around their lively city. Together, they practice looking closely. They delight in the world that they see, taste, touch, feel, and hear. Whether learning a yellow bird’s song, tasting a street vendor’s mango slices, or listening to the thumping music from passing cars, they find small wonders in every moment they share—and together, always, they go slow.
Simple yet poetic, We Go Slow is a breathtaking invitation to everyday wonder from acclaimed picture book creators Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie and Aaron Becker.
Ages 4 to 8.
“In a busy, chaotic world, We Go Slow is a balm: an invitation to linger longer, look closer, and breathe deeper. Every time I revisit its pages, I find myself just as enchanted by Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie’s charming prose and Aaron Becker’s luminous watercolors as I did on my very first read—but the real magic lies in sharing this book with others and watching as their eyes inevitably light up with wonder and joy. We Go Slow is a gift I wish for you, and for all the ones you love.” —Feather F., Editor, on We Go Slow
