Wait
Antoinette Portis
A mother hurries through the city with her young son to catch a commuter train, but he repeatedly asks to pause for what he notices along the way. He pets a dog, waves to a construction worker, helps feed ducks, looks into a pet-shop window, and touches a butterfly. Rain sends them rushing again, until the boy asks to stop for a rainbow as their train departs. Sparse words and pencil, charcoal, and ink illustrations carry the movement through the city.
