description: A gentle celebration of the bond between mother and son, and a beautifully illustrated portrait of a lively urban neighborhood​. As a mother and son explore their area, they try various ways of walking—from giant steps and reggae steps to crisscross steps and backward steps. Whether they're racing down the street or moving as slow as molasses, Jonathan and Mommy go at their own pace and move to the beat of their love for each other.
