About Rafa & the Wrong Legs

Rafael is finally old enough to visit the supermarket without having to ride in the shopping cart. He promises Mama he will stay by her side, and for a while, he does . . . especially when tasting samples from the Cookie Man. But after a bouncing berry lures him away, Rafa wanders into a sea of unfamiliar legs. How will he find his way back to Mama?

​ Rafa and the Wrong Legs is a sweet, clever, and wise story that every parent and curious child will recognize as their own. A special Q&A at the end contains expert advice about what to do should your own little Rafa ramble off in a public place.
