Bookroo's summary

A little girl embarks on a delightful walk from her kitchen, through a daisy-filled yard, to visit a boy next door. Along the way, she observes the closeness of everyday things, sparking curiosity about what connects us. This dual-language board book invites young readers to explore the concept of proximity in a charming, relatable way. What will she find close by, and how does it reflect her own connections?

From the publisher

Some things are close — cerca. Others are far — lejos. With sweet simplicity, this charming dual-language board book and its companion volume, Lejos/Far, engage young children. Mi cuarto está cerca de la cocina. My bedroom is close to the kitchen. As she walks from her kitchen through a daisy-filled yard to the house next door, a little girl notices things that are close to each other — just as the little boy she goes to visit is close to her.
