A playful and poignant exploration of the nature of time through the eyes of a child from acclaimed author/illustrator Julie Morstad .

What is time? Is it the tick tick tock of a clock, numbers and words on a calendar? It's that, but so much more.

Time is a seed waiting to grow, a flower blooming, a sunbeam moving across a room.

Time is slow like a spider spinning her web or fast like a wave at the beach.

Time is a wiggly tooth, or waiting for the school bell to ring, or reading a story .

or three! But time is also morning for some and night for others, a fading sunset and a memory captured in a photo taken long ago.

In this magical meditation on the nature of time, Julie Morstad shines a joyful light on a difficult-to-grasp concept for young readers and reminds older readers to see the wonders of our world, including children themselves, through the lens of time.
