Julie Morstad

I think this is the only book I've ever read about time/the passage of time that hasn't immediately and deeply stressed me out. It's also just so caringly and beautifully illustrated; I adore the simple yet vibrant artwork on every page! It has a soothing cadence and I think it would make a nice bedtime story for young readers.

This is a beautiful picture book. I especially loved the spread showing faces changing over time. "Time is a face whose lines and shapes change little by little, year by year."

I like this so much I'm going to read all of Morstad's other books.

Vera loves this book so much she is working on a sequel called Tomorrow.

Time is a Flower is a beautifully illustrated and engaging book that explores in all the ways time passes. Although we cannot see, touch, or manipulate time, we do see the effects of it as things grow. A thoughtfully written book with philosophical undertones.
