<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A ... picture book about the joys of waiting and taking in what is around you"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>As a boy and his mother move quickly through the city, they're drawn to different things. The boy sees a dog, a butterfly, and a hungry duck while his mother rushes them toward the departing train. It's push and pull, but in the end, they both find something to stop for. <p/>Acclaimed author/illustrator Antoinette Portis' signature style conveys feelings of warmth, curiosity, humor and tenderness in this simple, evocative story. <p/><b>A Neal Porter Book</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Beautifully controlled pacing and an immensely satisfying rainbow resolution make this book an effective refutation of frenzied schedules." --<i>Kirkus, starred review</i> <p/>"Portis has a gift for creating rich visual narratives for young children; this one will resonate with their caretakers, too." --<i>School Library Journal, starred review</i> <p/>"Economy and affection give this story the dimensions of a classic." --<i>Publishers Weekly, starred review</i> <p/>"Portis fills her friendly, accessible images with predictive details. Observant children will notice slickers, umbrellas, and other clues of things to come throughout the pages (is that a rainbow pop he points to on the ice-cream truck?), adding richness to this sweet story about appreciating life's simple pleasures." --<i>The Horn Book, starred review</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Antoinette Portis</b> is the author of many inventive books for children, including <i>Not a Box</i>, a <i>New York Times </i>Best Illustrated Book and a Geisel Honor Book, and <i>Froodle</i>, which she published with Roaring Brook Press.
