Strolling the city with his grandfather, a young boy is full of questions: "How did that tree get to be so tall?" "Were the buildings here always this high?" "Why is this street so dirty?" Grandpa's answer: change happens "a little at a time." New oil paintings of uneven quality accompany the quiet, lyrical text (slightly modified from the original).
