A walk through their bustling city neighborhood brings a girl and her grandfather closer together in this gentle, contemplative picture book that's "a reminder of the importance of being in the world with unhurried attention and open hearts" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

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.
