- Book Intro
-
This picture book tells the story of a toddler's encounter with nature's beauty. The baby visits a grass field filled with earthy scents, a colorful field of flowers, narrow paths with fallen leaves rustling on the ground, and a sandy beach where waves splash. The cute little footprints in the book give the impression that the baby is actually walking before our eyes. The plants and animals the baby meets along the way show up seamlessly so that the baby can get familiar with the new creatures. The beautiful illustrations have successfully captured the different seasons, which allows for the emotional development of babies. It's a perfect picture book to read before or after a stroll.
The book repeatedly uses a variety of mimetic words that babies can learn, such as "toddle," "flutter," and "hop." Readers may practice using these words in reality when they are out taking a walk.
Most pages have the baby's footprints, except for the highlight of the story when the mother appears. The toddler is always walking ahead of his mother, but the fact that she will always stay by his side offers a emotional stability.
