Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'Is it time yet?' or showing a budding interest in the numbers on your wrist or the kitchen wall. This gentle concept book uses the familiar setting of Apple Tree Farm to demystify the abstract concept of time by anchoring it to a relatable daily routine. Through Poppy and Sam's eyes, children see that clocks aren't just for adults; they are tools that tell us when to eat, play, and rest. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to foster a sense of independence and 'big kid' accomplishment in preschoolers and early elementary students. The book beautifully captures the pride a child feels when they finally understand how the big hand and little hand work together, making the transition to school schedules feel like an exciting new adventure rather than a chore.
