We Go Slow

By Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie

A walk through their bustling city neighborhood brings a girl and her grandfather closer together in this gentle, contemplative picture book celebrating the everyday wonder of slowing down and appreciating our surroundings.

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.
