Reviews / Votes
"Sarah Jacoby's beautiful book is proof that picture books can cover the most profound subjects in ways that speak to readers of all ages. A rich, moving meditation on an eternally absorbing question, this is a book to keep forever." -- LoveReading4Kids "Forever or a Day offers a series of verbal and pictorial images to evoke the feeling of time passing and the preciousness of every moment." -- Jewish Chronicle "This is a book that plays with the idea of time and how our perception of it is so elusive - an idea that even picture book readers totally get. Many pages wink at one another, with author Sarah Jacoby picking up images from one page and dropping them on another, so a toy train turns into a real train or a dark night sky that becomes cozy when seen through a family's window. But the point of this enchanted debut is that "we've only got what we've got, and our time with each other is the best time!" -- NPRMore details
