With its die-cut cover and 4 weights of paper this book moves through time (and the seasons, with thick paper in spring and thin in winter's frost) in the episodic, experiential way that a child's mind does. A poetic narrative, attuned to the ways of a child's mind, returns time to a flow. (The author/illustrator's sister is a physicist whose work actually involves returning time to a flow from the space-time chunks that are now open to question.) Reviews, cont'd: “A picture book that makes mysterious poetry out of the days of the week and the seasons of the year. Most readers...may find the moody, beautifully composed illustrations mesmerizing."—The New York Times Book Review "The illustrations are brilliantly simple.... Some unexpected surprises come with this book as well: textured snow, a welcoming die-cut cover, pages of varying thickness, and an oddly dimensioned house."—curledupkids.com
