"Today, we keep our eyes open for tiny, perfect things."

A little Black girl takes a walk with her white grandfather, observing the little things. Minimal, rhyming text accompanies sketched colored pencil illustrations. The walk ends at home, where they reunite with the girls white mother and Black father.

"Look! Our shadows are holding hands. They walk when we walk, and they stand when we stand."
