Best Children's Books Winner
Choices

An African American girl shares the private world of playtime on her front steps over each of the four seasons.

As the young narrator of this delightful story points out, the front steps can be one of the best places for city kids to play. Each season brings new experiences, from the long, hot-through-your-shoes days of summer to the discovery of leaf prints in autumn. Best of all, whenever you come back from away, setting foot on the front steps means you're finally home.

An intimate portrait of children at play, My Steps is a lovely tribute to all the seasons of a child's world.
