Little Giovanni is always daydreaming, always paying attention to the small miracles that lead him to lose track of the big picture. So even though heās promised his mama to keep his eyes open on his walk, he canāt help but get distracted. Cheerful, carefree, and curious, Giovanni literally loses himself as he discovers the wide, wonderful world around him. Here, Rodari highlights the gorgeous way children give themselves over to their attention to the world by having Giovanni lose parts of himself as he walks along. Should his mama worry? No! Because: āThatās just the way children are.āThis book title, A Daydreamy Child Takes a Walk, ISBN: 9781592704033, by Gianni Rodari, Beatrice Alemagna, Antony Shugaar, published by Harry N.
