Overview

The days speed by with little ones at home, making parents and caregivers nostalgic for precious moments while they're still unfolding. Amidst finger paint, paper airplanes, and a sweater outgrown too soon, these grownups find themselves singing a wistful song, "My heart aches / from being stretched so wide, / in the ocean of my heart / you're the rising tide."

This is Little Days by Canadian folk darlings The Bombadils (Luke Fraser and Sarah Frank) ? East Coast Music Award and Canadian Folk Music Award winners, and parents of three spunky kids. In this tender song-turned-picture-book, Sarah's sister, visual artist Veronica Chih Ming Frank sets rich watercolour illustrations to lyrics of childhood magic and wonder, in an imaginative sibling collaboration. "I want to linger / a little longer / in the wonder / of these little days?"
