DESCRIPTION
Anyone with small children knows how hard it can be for them to wait for something. This charming and vibrant book marks a little girl,s island moments that add up to much more than a week. It captures the fun and whimsy of summer, the importance of imagination, and the not-so-small task of waiting for a visit from Nana.

REVIEWS
“Counting down the days before Nana comes to visit her island home, young Daisy describes how she fills her time. Sailing, tea parties at the shore, rocking in the hammock, and playing tag all make the wait a bit less tedious. When Nana arrives, Daisy is ready to tell her about her various activities: firefly hunts, a ferry ride to get groceries, etc. One page shows Daisy and her pals stripped down to their undies, dancing in a tidal pool. Hogan’s sampler of island life will get vacation juices flowing. The simple sentences and childlike focus stay true to the narrator, and children will appreciate the recurring appearance of the calendar and the red “X” for each passing day. The realistic charcoals and pastels offer texture, and colors vary to reflect moods and times of day.” —School Library Journal
