About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler begins asking how long until snack time or why they have to leave the park. Time is an abstract concept that often causes frustration for young children, and this bilingual guide helps ground the passage of hours and days in familiar, concrete daily routines. By using both English and Spanish, it also serves as a foundational tool for language development and cognitive flexibility. Through simple illustrations and clear text, the book explains clocks, calendars, and the sequence of a day. It addresses the emotional need for predictability and patience, helping children feel more in control of their world as they understand what comes next. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to introduce STEM concepts while supporting bilingual literacy in a gentle, age-appropriate way.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and direct. It focuses on the mechanical and logical aspects of time without venturing into sensitive territory.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who is transitioning into a structured school environment and is struggling with the concept of 'later' or 'tomorrow.' It is also perfect for families raising bilingual children who want to build a specialized vocabulary for math and schedules.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. Parents might want to have a toy clock or a wall calendar nearby to point to as they read. A child becoming upset because they do not understand how long five minutes is, or a child repeatedly asking 'is it my birthday yet?'
