As she walks from her kitchen through a daisy-filled yard to the house next door, a little girl notices things that are close to each other — just as the little boy she goes to visit is close to her.

Some things are close — cerca. Others are far — lejos. This charming bilingual board book and its companion volume, Lejos / Far are a sweet, simple, joyful introduction to spatial concepts and Spanish / English reading.
