"This is an elegant piece of living theater. . . . A book to bathe in, reminding readers that something magical is happening every instant." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
At 9:59 on a Thursday morning, Jodie draws a duck. As she's about to add a silver button to the duck's boot, her little brother, Jonathan, takes his first step. At the exact same moment, a man buys fresh bread at the bakery, a baby is born, a soldier says good-bye to his mom. . . . From an ordinary scene in an apartment strewn with a child's artwork to a bird's-eye view of a city morning pulsing with life, Bob Graham celebrates a whole world-vision in a single moment.
