A mother is like a nest, a mother is like a means of transport, a mother is like a fountain… As in a nursery rhyme, these short phrases accompany every step in a baby's daily life. Throughout the pages, the child grows, going through different learning experiences.

The reader accompanies the child through these small big steps. The mother who was a nest, shelter for the newborn, becomes a road, a story or a spectacle for the child who plays. And as she grows up, the distance between her and her mother also increases in the illustrations. Until the last image, with the first steps of the child.
