A boy says farewell to a loved one as he imagines her walking on into her next journey, a moving story about loss and hope by Fry Bread author Kevin Noble Maillard, who also narrates this audiobook. And They Walk On features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun!

When a young boy’s grandmother walks on, he wonders where she’s gone.

Did she go to the market to buy ripe melons? Or maybe she’s in the garden, watering her herbs?

It feels like she’s somewhere far away, so the boy finds new ways to share stories about his day, hoping she can hear him.

Even her house feels like it’s waiting for her return. Then as the boy approaches the kitchen, the scent and memories of her cooking assure him that no matter where she is, her love will always be close by.

Because when someone walks on, they stay with us. They grow in our hearts and guide us as we walk in their footsteps.

Award-winning author of Fry Bread, Kevin Noble Maillard, breathes life and love into this intimate audiobook about loss.

"[Kevin Maillard's] personality bursts through as he speaks with passion...this expressive narration is an excellent companion to the picture book..."—AudioFile on Fry Bread.

Critic reviews

"Stunning and essential."—Kirkus, starred review

"[An] emotionally centered picture book about the Indigenous concept of “walking on.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This book has universal appeal for anyone coping with a loss, but by keeping the text centered on the child’s feelings and responses, it's particularly useful as a grief resource for a wide range of children."—Booklist, starred review
