<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An imaginative picture book that combines nature and play to talk about the passage of time."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A playful and poignant exploration of the nature of time through the eyes of a child from acclaimed author/illustrator Julie Morstad.</b> <p/>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. <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Thoughtful metaphors and diverse characters take viewers through the manifold dimensions of time. . . . This exuberant vehicle will expand the thinking of those just beginning to comprehend clocks and calendars. <b>--STARRED REVIEW, <i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b> <p/>A conceptual meditation, winsome and enigmatic. <b>--STARRED REVIEW, </b><i><b>Publishers Weekly</b><br></i><br>"A fascinating way to think about the passage of time." <b>--STARRED REVIEW, </b> <b><i>Booklist</i></b> <p/>Morstad's crisp, fine-lined illustrations convey a hushed and wondrous tone.
