Description
A delightful and inspiring picture book about making time for the little things that make life rich and beautiful, from author Paola Quintavalle and award-winning illustrator Miguel Tanco
Watching a flower grow. Taking time to say goodbye. Giving yourself the chance for another try. Holding hands and letting go. And welcoming the night when the moon is up.
These are all things for which we need to make time-things that involve both imagination and intention, even though they are ordinary. By sharing these small moments, this playful, conceptual book inspires us not to waste but to fill the precious time we have on our hands.

"A sunny look at living life with intention... Stresses the importance of making space not only for the momentary encounters in life but also for the emotions involved. Tanco's pen illustrations are delicate and textured... A reminder to embrace the smaller moments in life with purpose."
