本書以遊戲般的語調，帶領讀者從生活小事中感受時間。時間不僅是時鐘與日曆，而是種子探出嫩芽、陽光穿越窗縫、花朵慢慢張開的過程；是海邊浪花的快速奔跑，也是等待的拉長與期待的跳動。孩子掉牙、聽故事、望著天空，這些看似普通的時刻，都蘊含著時間悄悄進行的痕跡。時間也因視角而不同——此刻的清晨可能是遠方的夜晚；夕陽正在落下，而多年以前的一張照片仍保存著那一天的光。本書透過溫暖的畫風與柔軟文字，引導孩子理解時間的變化，也提醒成人重新欣賞生活中易被忽略的美麗片刻。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 tock 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
