This picture book for early elementary children breaches a topic that can be difficult for them: waiting. What a great book to utilize when talking about this subject. It opens the door to asking questions such as:
- To what do you look forward?
- How do you prepare for that?
- What is your favorite time of year and why?
- Is it hard to wait?
In addition, this book would be great for introducing additional topics such as seasons, cycles, weather, disappointment, clouds, nature, holidays, and friendship.
