Description
Description
Life is a collection of big and little moments, and all are celebrated in this vibrant, moving keepsake--a perfect gift for graduations or other notable events. A moment is made when everything that came before meets what is happening now. Each moment is new. It's a song and how you hear it. It's a sunny day and how you feel it. In this exhilarating and meaningful book, all the happenings in a person's life--the brave ones, the peaceful ones, the nervous, proud, and grateful ones--combine to make us who we are and to light the way to what's next. It's just the right read for a child who's about to graduate from kindergarten, celebrate a birthday, or move to a new home, or even for a teenager on their way to college. Like Oh, the Places You'll Go and The Wonderful Things You Will Be, this cherishable book brings joy and inspiration.

"The text celebrates the significance of each moment, reminding children to stop and enjoy the journey of life. Each instance is fresh and fleeting, a combination of past experiences and current circumstances. Player captures these events in colorful, charming pictures.
