In the Forest of Different Steps, there's no right way to walk: there's only your way.
An illustrated children's book made for reading aloud, one story a night: 11 adventures following Rico the hedgehog, Lina the little rabbit, Tito the quick mouse, Gina the patient turtle, Berto the bat, and Maya the butterfly - six very different friends who gather every evening around Grandpa Ulysses, the old wolf storyteller, to learn together what it means to accept yourself, listen to others, and grow at your own pace.
A book about animals for kids that explores diversity, friendship, patience, and small acts of kindness - perfect as a bedtime story for children ages 5 to 8, and just as meaningful for the adults reading along with them.
