Description
From the best-selling author of What Can a Mess Make? comes a charming picture book about a brother and sister who discover the unexpected delights of life's in-between moments while running errands with their mother.
With joyful rhymes and gorgeous illustrations, this book invites readers to discover beauty in patience and cherish the opportunity of boredom. Thunder rumbles.Clouds hang low.
No umbrella!
Where to go?
Speckled sidewalk.
Stormy weather.
While we wait,
we squeeze together. Filled with the highs and lows of a long day out, this story gently reminds us of the joy in simple moments spent together.
