LITTLE TOSHI and his grandmother share an eventful walk, taking in the sights and sounds of a riverbank, forest, city neighbourhood, and the countryside. Along they way, Toshi fills his backpack with “treasures.” The search-and-find adventure encourages reader interaction, with fun activities accompanying the gentle storyline. Illustrations by New Zealand artist Aki are fun and whimsical, as well as informative, giving the book visual appeal and educational value.
