The analogy of life as a road is not a new one. In fact, it’s a bit cliché. However, Wade creates a conversation between traveller and road that would make a great graduation present for those who want an alternative to Dr. Seuss.

A beautiful reflection on the journey of living, using the road metaphor. Picture books are for kids and this is relatable to primary aged children, who will love the colourful illustrations and easy prose. But there are lessons for adults within these pages too. This is sire to become a read-aloud favourite for parents and teachers alike!
I think the road said to read this book on New Year's Eve when I have been questioning everything in the world.
Adults know what it is to be on a "path" and to have that path wind and turn around and go through a forest. But the reminder to us all: We are the leaders on our path.
Kids will learn what a path is, in the literal and figurative sense. The language is gorgeous. I want this book for me, for sure, and for my daughters. And in every library; preschool-public.
Thank you, Cleo Wade, for the encouragement to continue on my journey.

This is such a great book for kids, teens, young adults, those in the midst of life changes, etc. All the questions asked are such valid questions that all have likely asked at some point in their lives. The answers the road gives are lovely, encouraging and invite the narrator to think differently.

Inspirational Picture book. I know that there are a lot of picture books that adults can enjoy, but I still struggle with those that seem to be written solely for older audiences. This story is clearly for the end-of-year, graduation type gift. A person walks home when a road appeared and they pondered aloud "Where Do You Lead?" and the Road said "Be a leader and find out." The remainder of the book is a conversation between the road and the person walking. Yes there are lots of great lessons--"sometimes you will stumble backward and sometimes you will stand still" but overall the book felt like an extended metaphor that went on way too long. I did really enjoy the illustrations though. Not a book for younger kids, I would say older elementary and even up to adult.
