A hard back story book - Can you tell the time without a clock? Grandmother says you can. She knows there are so many other ways to tell the time. You can count the seconds by the beating of your heart…. An hour is how long it takes for the bath water to go cold… and you know each day is over when your mother kisses you good night. Seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, seasons, years…. Time is too big to fit inside a clock.
