Catching Time

by Rachna Gilmore, Kirsti Anne Wakelin (Illustrator)

Scurry and worry, bustle and whirl. When a family's hectic schedule leaves no room for family fun, Sara decides to take matters into her own hands. With a preserve jar from Mom's cupboard in one hand, and a butterfly net in the other, she sets out to capture time itself. But where can it be? Is it underneath a desk, or is it twinkling in the sunlight? So begins a fun-filled adventure that's sure to reconnect loved ones through the gifts of time and togetherness. With lively text by multi-award winning author Rachna Gilmore, and beautifully airy illustrations by Kirsti Anne Wakelin, Catching Time is the perfect remedy to today's fast-paced lifestyle - and a vivid reminder that time with family is precious, and in the end, the very best time of all.

A little girl struggles to find time on the weekend, because her parents are too busy to take her to the park. Great illustrations!

Beautiful expression of the how time feels to little people and how sometimes we must stop and give them their time.
