About this book

Consuela, a young girl growing up in a busy neighborhood, learns to identify the different clip-clop sounds made by the workhorses that pull the local vendor wagons. By listening closely each day, she discovers that each horse has a distinctive rhythm, allowing her to know which vendor is coming before the cart appears. The story reflects a time when horses were central to city life, showing how the community depended on these animals and the simple pleasures of recognizing their sounds. Through vivid, straightforward language, the book offers a glimpse into a bygone era and the everyday adventure of a child attuned to her surroundings.
