In a quiet forest, there lived a very busy squirrel.There were always things to do,gathering nuts, tidying leaves, and preparing for winter.One day, the squirrel took out a glass jarand began to collect the “tick-tock” sounds of each passing moment.“When I have time,” it said, “I’ll open them all and have more time again.”Day by day, the jars piled up, shining like treasures on the shelf.But the laughter of the forest grew quieter without the squirrel.The Squirrel’s Time Jar is a gentle picture bookabout slowing down, being present, and rememberingthat life is not meant to be stored, it’s meant to be lived.
