by **Juan Felipe Herrera** (Author), **Blanca Gómez** (Illustrator)

**Some things are close -- _cerca._ Others are far -- _lejos._ With sweet simplicity, this charming dual-language board book and its companion volume, Lejos/Far, engage young children.**

Mi cuarto est cerca de la cocina. _My bedroom is close to the kitchen._

As she walks from her kitchen through a daisy-filled yard to the house next door, a little girl notices things that are close to each other -- just as the little boy she goes to visit is close to her.
