知名作家/插画家朱莉·莫斯塔德（Julie Morstad）通过孩子的眼睛，有趣而深刻地探索了时间的本质。

什么是时间？是时钟的滴答声，日历上的数字和文字吗？它是，但远远不止这些。时间是一粒等待生长的种子，一朵绽放的花朵，一束穿过房间的阳光。时间是缓慢的，就像蜘蛛织网，或是飞快的，就像海滩上的波浪。时间是一颗松动的牙齿，或是等待学校的铃声响起，或是读一个故事……三个故事！但是对有些人来说是早晨、是夜晚、是逐渐消失的夕阳、是很久以前拍摄的照片中的记忆。

在这本关于时间性质的神奇冥想书中，朱莉·莫斯塔德为小读者有趣地诠释了一个难以掌握的概念，并提醒读者通过时间的镜头看到世界的奇迹。

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.
