Estrela Lourenço – illustratör

When a restless little rhino has to WAIT, a speeding CHARGE may follow, and a racing, anything-but-still rhino can be BIG trouble. But what every little one must understand is that WAITs don’t just get in the way, they’re what builds up to the best part of your day!Dynamic illustrations reveal not only the many positives to waiting patiently but the playful possibilities of living in the moment. A swimming pool SPLASH or a scrumptious soup SLURP might be minutes or hours away, but there’s so many things to do in the meantime. Draw, take a deeeeep breath, daydream. For little rhinos (or readers) who let their imaginations run wild instead of their feet, time spent waiting can be sweet, surprising, or even spectacular.A rushing romp through some of each day’s toughest tests of time, this rhino-sized adventure is ready to trample the stigma around waiting and roar out its secret fun, offering creative suggestions on how little ones can productively and patiently spend downtime. Perfect for young readers who have trouble sitting still (and for grown-ups who have heard “Are we there yet?” more than a few times), this fun picture book proves that, sometimes, the best things really do come to those who wait.
