The little boy’s house is far from the city, and the city is far from the ocean. What about the mountains in the distance, or the clouds in the sky, or the sun that shines over the boy as he walks?

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