Round and Round is a tactile board book about cycles, movement, and the pleasure of starting again.
Three friends go for a bike ride that never really ends: the path loops, the verses return, and the reader is invited to trace the journey with their finger, following a smooth, shiny line across the pages. The story offers a circular reading experience — when you reach the end, the book naturally invites you to begin again.
Written in rhythmic, playful verse by Ángeles Quinteros and illustrated by Karina Letelier with a balance of abstraction and clarity, the book encourages young children to explore repetition as comfort and movement as discovery.
Rather than explaining concepts, Round and Round lets children experience them physically, making it especially suitable for early readers and shared reading moments.
