Following substantial success at home and abroad with the textless book One Small Kindness the author delivers a new textless work, created in a similar artistic fashion. In it, she tackles patience – an evergreen topic – especially with young children, who are generally quite impatient and find it difficult to count down the days until their favourite events.

In the book, we meet a boy who visits his grandparents with his parents. The author depicts very vividly how their journey seems to drag on, and how the boy feels about it, as well as introduces some interesting activities that help the child pass the time.
