Description

Happy rhymes and illustrations full of colour, light and energycapture the delights of childhood and the passage of time. Everysecond, minute, and hour — right up to an entire year — are reflected in renowned illustrator Kady MacDonald Denton's artwork. The concept of time spirals out in easy verse, making this a perfect choice for cozy reading aloud, or for sharing memories.
