A gorgeous, trippy-in-a-good-way look at how time isn't just a clock on the wall—it's everything from a growing flower to a loose tooth.

This is the antidote to loud, fast-paced digital noise. Julie Morstad takes a concept that usually stresses adults out—the passage of time—and turns it into something tactile and beautiful for kids.
It’s not a page-turner in the 'what happens next?' sense, but it’s the kind of book that sticks in a kid's brain and changes how they look at a sunbeam or a ticking clock. High-quality, low-stress, and looks great on a shelf.
Ideal for the 3-7 crowd. It’s simple enough for a preschooler to follow the rhythm, but deep enough for a 2nd grader to actually ponder the philosophy of it.
It models mindfulness and a gentle appreciation for the natural world and personal growth without being preachy or saccharine.
Julie Morstad uses clever visual metaphors—like a spider's web or a wiggly tooth—to make a massive, abstract concept feel tangible and creative.
Zero safety concerns. It's a meditative picture book about nature and the passage of time.
Great for developing emotional intelligence and a sense of 'now.' It helps kids (and parents) reframe time from a source of stress into a series of moments.
