Ebook

As the young narrator of this delightful story points out, the front steps can be one of the best places for city kids to play. Each season brings new experiences, from the long, hot-through-your-shoes days of summer to the discovery of leaf prints in autumn. Best of all, whenever you come back from away, setting foot on the front steps means you're finally home.

Translated from My Steps, Mi escalera is an intimate portrait of children at play and a lovely tribute to all the seasons of a child's world.
