From the bestselling author of Bunnicula comes a beautiful story about looking, observing, and finding wonder in the things that we walk right past every day
Every morning, Milo goes walking with his mother. There are so many things to see.
While Milo was sleeping, the rain left a puddle for him to find. “Hello, Milo,” he says to the boy in the puddle.
When Milo listens closely, he hears bees. They have a lot to say.
The tree in the park looks sad today. “It’s okay,” Milo whispers. “I will see you tomorrow and you will be happy.”
Each day is full of possibilities when Milo goes walking: new things to observe, old things to see in a new way, the magical “maybes” of his imagination—and what we might find, tomorrow.
Praise for Milo Walking
“Kikuchi (Show Us Where You Live, Humpback) uses soft pencil and watercolor to create a subdued but warmhearted realism. Combined with the quiet text, the book celebrates a world that seems alive in every way, and is full of gifts for all who take the time to notice.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Kikuchi’s luminous palette depicts whimsy and joy in each small moment—the images are awash in delicate blues and warm yellows, outlined in soft grays and browns. Varying perspectives provide close-ups of Milo’s experiences as well as bird’s-eye views of him and his mother in nature, keeping young readers engaged and curious themselves. An enchanting invitation to go outside, take in nature…and enjoy every moment of it.” –Kirkus, starred review
“Softly outlined in pencil, Kikuchi’s cheerful watercolors feature soothing pastel-toned yellows, blues, greens, and pinks. This outing contains just the right amount of detail to prompt audiences to make their own outdoor observations.” –The Horn Book Review
