PS
A simple text ably introduces the concept of one minute, in terms both factual ("In one minute...your hair grows .00068 centimeters") and experiential. Multifaceted illustrations, all focused on one girl, reinforce the book's insightfulness: "Sometimes one minute is important" shows her running for a train; "Sometimes one minute is nothing" shows her looking out the window at the rain.
