A Vibrant Tale of Time

The best children’s books aren’t just for kids. It’s Almost Time – written by Debbie Bernstein LaCroix and illustrated by Astoria’s own Sarah Chalek – is a prime example of this sentiment, with its worldly knowledge translated into unassuming, rhythmic language and dynamic illustrations.

Boasting a fresh take on age-old wisdom and brilliantly colorful artwork, It’s Almost Time is a story sure to engage audiences both young and old.

The story features two main characters, a horse and a blue jay, who meander as friends through the sights and sounds of clocks and the passage of time. Each page is vibrantly colored, with Chalek’s illustrations bringing both characters to life through loveable expressions and meaningful subtleties. The text is loaded with onomatopoeia that drive the story forward effortlessly while capturing the reader in a world full of sound.

It’s Almost Time is published by Kane Miller, A Division of EDC Publishing, and is available online or at most major bookstores. Sarah Chalek received her BFA in illustration from Syracuse University. Her work has been featured in the American Watercolorist Magazine and in the Society of Illustrators Student Show.
