Wie schön kann doch der Tag sein, wenn man schon morgens Pläne hat und Entscheidungen treffen darf. Was Erwachsene kaum noch wahrnehmen oder zuweilen als Arbeit ansehen, wird in diesem Buch zum Spiel: Was zieh ich heute an? Das Streifen-T-Shirt? Die Latzhose? Den Kratzepulli? Lieber nicht! Turnschuhe, Schlappen? Und was will ich frühstücken? Müsli? Toast? Bananen, Porridge, Ei? Und dann? Wo geh ich heute hin? Und mit wem? Und wie? So schier unendlich viele Möglichkeiten, einen einzigen Tag, einen jeden Moment zu verbringen! Das ganze Leben ist doch ein Spielplatz, eine Box der Möglichkeiten! Seite für Seite eine Wunderkammer, die möglicherweise unendlich viel öfter geblättert betrachtet werden möchte, als das Jahr Tage hat. Wir waren einstimmig vom ersten Moment an verzückt und fragen uns, wie wir vorher ohne dieses Buch von Julie Morstad leben konnten? Unmöglich!

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.

In this celebration of Japanese culture and family and naked bodies of all shapes and sizes, join a little girl--along with her aunties and grandmother--at a traditional bath house. Once there, the rituals leading up to the baths begin: hair washing, back scrubbing, and, finally, the wood barrel drumroll.

Ahhhhhh!With a lyrical text and gorgeous illustrations, this picture book is based on Kyo Maclear's loving memories of childhood visits to Japan, and is an ode to the ties that bind generations of women together.

Suddenly Maclear becomes a detective in her own life, desperately seeking answers from her ailing mother whose memories and English are failing.
