Once there was a boy named Charlie. He had a nice life, but it wasn’t perfect. He had to spend too much time doing things he didn’t want to do. So one day he decided to pack up and save all his time – all his round, squishy years and square, mushy months, down to every itsy-bitsy second – in his suitcase and lock it up, say goodbye to his parents, and set off to find something better to spend his time on. Charlie traveled the world in search of the perfect thing to make him happy, but that turned out to be much harder to find than he thought. In the meantime, unbeknownst to him, his itsy-bitsy seconds and silky, smooth hours and raggedy days ticked away, so that once Charlie stopped traveling and realized what he really wanted out of life, it was almost too late. Almost. This charming fable, paired with simple, elegant pictures, artfully evokes a life philosophy so many of us miss until it is too late: living and loving is time well spent.
