"In the world I notice persons are nearly always stressed and have no time...I don't know how persons with jobs do the jobs and all the living as well...I guess the time gets spread very thin like butter all over the world, the roads and houses and playgrounds and stores, so there's only a little smear of time on each place, then everyone has to hurry on to the next bit." 
 This is a really interesting idea for a book and it's well written. It's the story of a little boy and his mother being told from the perspective of the five year old boy. Because of their circumstances the boy and his mother's story can cause us to think about our lives in a little bit different light. It's a great read! And if you don't read too many reviews or summaries it can be an interesting surprise to read and see how the story unfolds.
