Patience

Time is sometimes hard to deal with - but it can help to know that everything happens in its own time. In one minute, your heart beats over 100 times. In one day, a dragonfly unfurls its wings. In a season, a bear goes into winter hibernation until the arrival of spring. And across 80 years, a human being lives a lifetime. Packed with real science but rooted in the deeper things in life, this poetic non-fiction anthology explores 18 different periods of time and is sure to prompt conversations between parent and child.
