Chihiro Takeuchi is a renowned paper cut artist living in Osaka, Japan. In 2015 and 2016 Chihiro was part of a select group of artists to exhibit at the prestigious Bologna Book Fair, and she specializes in writing for and working with children in the early childhood stages.  

"Be sure to make time for this charmer; kids will want to return to it time and again."  Kirkus Reviews 

Follow the comings and goings of everyone who lives and works in the same building and enjoy the interactive search-and-find as we see what happens throughout the day. 

Look in the windows and track each character's journey over the course of a day. And we can't forget what happens when (almost) everyone is sleeping. 

Chihiro's detailed, kid-friendly paper cut artwork engages readers and includes them in her work. Here, she smartly focuses on what happens on the hour, which is the way children are first introduced to the concept of reading clocks. 

This is a story that works on multiple levels: as a narrative, a seek-and-find game, and an introduction to reading analog clocks.
