El tiempo tiene nombre (Time Has Different Names)
by Laura Romero
Caleb’s mom is always in a hurry; Martina’s grandmother writes poetry at night because she doesn’t have time during the day. And Zoe can’t fall asleep, and she wants her dad to be with her in doing so. Isabel eats her afternoon snack while she does her homework, and gets everything dirty. But she doesn’t have time to do one thing at a time. But children do things at their time, one thing at a time, living the present. A book about how adults are always in a hurry, making kids do things faster. But time has different names: it is Teo eating his cereal and Juliette peeling her tangerine. Not fast or slow, taking the time they need.
