Whether their young narrator is shoveling snow in the deep of winteror hiding under a blanket with her friend to escape the hot midday sun of summer, her steps provide a venue for fun, games, imagination, and friendship. Best of all, as every child knows, whenever you come back from being Away, setting foot on the front steps means you're finally Home. |
