Time For Us
Details
In Time For Us, the first children's book by famed author Rebecca Walker, six-year-old Jackson is bored, but his mama is too busy working to play with him. Jackson is patient until his favorite time of day—when his mama spends time with him. They step outside their front door into a magical garden of delicious banana and mango trees, and lush purple jacarandas. They sample the fruit, look up at the clouds, and learn about the world around them together. The story is accompanied by facts to expand the reader's knowledge and bring the natural world to life, such as how many bananas a tree produces and how ants build their homes. Drawing on Walker's own personal experience of being a mother to her son, this charming story draws on the theory that just 20 minutes of quality time a day, between caregiver and child, nurtures and benefits their relationship in many different ways.
