In this world of rush-rush-rush, Alison McGhee and Peter H. Reynolds ever so sweetly, ever so ingeniously remind us to slow down and . . . let a boy have time to play. Poke at a fallen log. Pick up that one hundredth rock. Not be hurried. Because so much of their future—a child's, the world's—depends on the seemingly little things—the opportunities, the room, the time we allow our children, and, in this exquisite piece, what a father offers a son. Everything depends on this little boy's yellow cup, that astonishing bug, his starship pajamas . . . and a big cardboard box. Like Someday, this will be the book that you'll want to give dads, sons, expecting moms, and their newborns.
