Sometimes, you have to wait. The seconds drag on . . . each one feels like forever, when all you want is now. Yet, you wait. You wait, and while you wait, you notice things. Like the worm attempting to cross the sidewalk and the way lunch tastes even better when you make it yourself. Sometimes, you have to wait. So you wait. And you find the good in the moments between now and later. Until, finally, you can say the wait is over. When You Have to Wait is a profound, warm, and relatable picture book about mastering the art of patience, with stunningly gorgeous art by Leah Hong.
