In a Big Big Hurry

Ebba Forslind

These two are in a hurry. A mom and a child. One is supposed to be on her way to daycare and one off to work, but they both think it’s such a drag. They would rather go buy a turtle, or look in the window of the jewelry store and wish for necklaces with gold hearts and bracelets with diamonds. But what if there’s been a mistake? What if it’s a day off instead?

 

Ebba Forslind’s pitch-perfect debut is an everyday and poetic picture book, recognizable for all those who’s ever dropped off or been dropped off at daycare.
