Sarah Jacoby's illustrations have won awards from the Society of Illustrators (Gold Medal), Creative Quarterly, and Communication Arts. This is her first book as both author and illustrator. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“In Jacoby’s elegant debut, time is both a riddle and a poem: 'Perhaps it is a ghost / it can come and go / and you never even notice it was there,' she writes. Her soft illustrations, in lovely sunrise, sunset and moonlight colors, capture both wide-open spaces and the enduring bonds of family love.”
