We have all noticed it: time keeps ticking, and ticking, and ticking...
And we keep going along with it, running through everything and anything.
Time changes us. It changes things around us. It transforms everything.
With time, we understand this.
My Opinion:
Time does not stop! Time is always running and running and running... And has it happens, he leaves impressions, memories and souvenirs. And it's about this that this book talks about: the effects of time running on us and on the world around us.
Without a linear text or a main character, with this book we can learn that, with time, «what it's hard, becomes easy», «the watch hands returs to the same position», «the skin on our hans, becomes drier and wrinkled», «the fruit, if we don't eat her, it rots»...
Without recipients, without age, with a simple text and amazing illustrations, this book is perfect to be read in family or by those who (regardless there age) love a good picture book.
