The baby goes for a walk and goes to the square with his mother and sister. A world of discoveries opens up before him: the smell of the plants, the sound of the wind passing through the leaves of the trees, the sound of the birds screaming ahead. And at the end, a surprise: how will the baby’s day end? ‘Back and forth’ is a book written especially for babies and young children, who will identify with this baby protagonist who plays, explores, has fun, and discovers nature, others, and himself. But it’s also a work that thinks about the adult who mediates the reading, because it recalls childhood memories, explores sensations, and reminds us how important it is to appreciate what we might not realize because of our day-to-day routine.
