And They Walk On

A boy says farewell to a loved one as he imagines her walking on into her next journey, a moving and superbly illustrated story about loss and hope by Fry Bread author Kevin Noble Maillard and illustrated by acclaimed, award-winning artist Rafael López.

Description

When a young boy's grandmother walks on, he wonders where she's gone.

Did she go to the market to buy ripe melons? Or maybe she's in the garden, watering her herbs?

It feels like she's somewhere far away, so the boy finds new ways to share stories about his day, hoping she can hear him.

Even her house feels like it's waiting for her return. Then as the boy approaches the kitchen, the scent and memories of her cooking assure him that no matter where she is, her love will always be close by.

Because when someone walks on, they stay with us. They grow in our hearts and guide us as we walk in their footsteps.

Award-winning author of Fry Bread, Kevin Noble Maillard, breathes life into this intimate picture book about the love that lasts even after a loved one has walked on, with illustrations from renowned, best-selling artist, Rafael López.
