Illustrated by
Joyce Wheeler.
"When Maga and I go walking," begins the poetic, sometimes poignant text, "we don't walk very fast." The young narrator describes the ordinary but important activities she and (presumably) her grandmother share on their walks: "we talk about things we like"; "we joke as we poke along"; "we gather things we find." Spacious illustrations help characterize the walking partners and their comfortable relationship.
