Wait uses only 2 words ("hurry" and "wait") hroughout the whole book but uses them to teach kids a lesson about being optimistic and enjoying things in life, while also teaching about patience.

I love this reminder when I #needpatience. Mom is trying to catch the train, son wants to stop and check things out along the way. The text consists of only three words - wait, hurry, and yes. It‘s got great art, too. #survivingdecember
