Spendin’ Time: A Picture Book about Family and Slowing Down, for Kids (Ages 4-8)
For fans of Oge Mora and Ezra Jack Keats comes a poetic and joyful tale about a young boy who runs errands with his grandfather in town, by critically acclaimed author, Gary R. Gray, Jr. (I’m From), and award-winning artist, Rahele Jomepour Bell.
“What are we doing today, Granddad?”
“How about a trip to town? Nan needs some things for dinner.”
“Let’s go!”
“How far to the market, Granddad?”
“No rush, son! We’re just spendin’ time.”
Upbeat lyricism and cheerful illustration bring to life this kid-friendly meditation on appreciating every moment—big or small—spent with the people you love.
