A young girl's exploration of the city she loves.A young girl and her father spend a day in the city, her city, traveling to the places they go together. As they do, the girl, who is visually impaired, describes what she senses in delightfully precise, poetic detail. Her city, she says, ¿pitters and patters, and drips and drains.¿ It's both ¿smelly¿ and ¿sweet.¿ Her city also speaks, as it ¿dings and dongs and rattles and roars.¿ And sometimes, maybe even some of the best times, it just listens.A celebration of all there is to appreciate in our surroundings --- just by paying attention!

A girl's poetic exploration of the ocean she loves.¿This is my ocean,¿ the young girl begins as she heads over the dunes with her mother. Then, passing the day at the seaside, she lyrically describes her ocean in simple, sensory detail. It is both ¿slimy¿ and ¿sandy,¿ ¿sparkly¿ and ¿dull.¿ It has wonderful sounds, as it ¿splashes and crashes and echoes and squawks.¿ And there are so many colors, from ¿rusted orange¿ to ¿polished green.¿ Though ¿mostly it's blue.¿ Nothing escapes the girl's careful observations. And at day's end, she can't wait to for her next trip to the beach.This enchanting nature companion will awaken the explorer in every child.
