Is It Time Yet?

Finding Joy in the Moments Between

Parrot has heard about a beautiful flower that opens only when the sun begins to set, and he simply cannot wait to see it. He arrives early with Tortoise, certain that a little singing, a bit of encouragement, or perhaps a gentle nudge will convince the flower to bloom sooner. But no matter what he tries, the petals stay closed. Tortoise suggests they enjoy the afternoon instead, but Parrot keeps asking the same question: Is it time yet?

Is It Time Yet? follows Parrot as he discovers that some wonderful things simply cannot be rushed. While waiting for the flower, he begins to notice little things he would otherwise have missed: the changing colors of the sky, the sounds of the forest, and the quiet beauty of an ordinary afternoon. Slowly, Parrot learns that patience isn't just about waiting for something to happen, but about finding happiness in the moments along the way.

With gentle humor and a touch of wonder, the story encourages children to manage their excitement, cope with anticipation, and appreciate experiences as they unfold. It introduces patience as an important part of self-management, helping young readers understand that waiting doesn't have to feel frustrating when there's so much to discover in the present.
