Time for Us

The first children's book by bestselling writer and activist Rebecca Walker tells an endearing story of mother and son set on a Hawaiian island.

Jackson is bored, but his stressed mama is too busy to play with him. Jackson is patient until, finally, their "time for us" begins. They step outside into a magical garden of delicious banana, mango, and macadamia trees. They learn about the world around them together.

Written by award-winning author Rebecca Walker, and drawing on her own experience of being a working mother struggling to make time for her son, this charming story draws on the theory that just 20 minutes of quality time a day between caregiver and child benefits their relationship in multiple ways. The book is fully illustrated to bring the characters and luscious tropical setting to life.
