Written by Juan Felipe Herrera · Illustrated by Blanca Gomez
Explore what's near and far in a boy's world.
A young boy discovers the world around him, from the lemon tree near his home to the distant mountains and ocean. What lies beyond the horizon as he explores near and far?
Some things are close — cerca. Others are far — lejos. With sweet simplicity, this charming dual-language board book and its companion volume, Cerca/Close, engage young children. El árbol de limones está lejos de mi casa. The lemon tree is far from my house. The little boy’s house is far from the city, and the city is far from the ocean. What about the mountains in the distance, or the clouds in the sky, or the sun that shines over the boy as he walks?
