This is a truth about growing up. Once in your life, sometime after
your first memory but before you can drive a car, something is
going to happen to you that doesn't happen to anyone else you know.
It might be something good. It might be something bad. For Millie,
it's something really sad. Lolo, her neighbors' infant daughter,
dies unexpectedly, suddenly, inexplicably, on the night Millie
babysits. It's not Millie's fault. There's nothing she could have
done. And there's nothing she can do now. So how does she go on?
She does what you'll do. She finds her way. This poignant and
profound coming-of-age story portrays a tragic experience of
responsibility and its poisonous flip side: guilt. Emotional,
powerful, and important, this is an honest and empathetic portrait
of a girl at her most vulnerable-a mess of grief, love, and
ultimately, acceptance-who must reckon with those most difficult of
demons: death . . . and life.
Families everywhere will recognise themselves in this clever,
hilarious, and completely irresistible picture book. Five minutes
is a lot of time...or is it? Well, it depends on what you're doing,
of course! Follow one little boy and his family on a very busy day,
as he discovers that sometimes five minutes feels like forever -
like when you're finishing up at the dentist's office or waiting in
line for the bathroom or in the backseat on a long car ride - and
sometimes five minutes feels like no time at all - like when you're
playing your favourite game or at the tippy top of a roller coaster
or snuggling up with a book before bedtime.

around us.
