A tender portrait of family that celebrates both the beauty and the chaos of life with young children—perfect for Mother’s Day and as a new-baby gift year-round!

The days are long, but when I’m with you, I blink and the years fly by.

From sunrise to nightfall, this family is on the go. And for every early wake-up, busy breakfast, missing shoe, and rush to get out the door, there is also a sweet smile, a “Mama, look!” and a snuggle before bedtime to make all of the day’s moments feel precious. The perfect gift for any caregiver, The Days Are Long, the Years Are Short is a day-in-the-life story of a family enjoying every minute of their messy, wonderful time together.

Genre:

Aya Morton's debut author-illustrator project is The Days Are Long, the Years Are Short, and she is also the illustrator of The Great Gatsby: The Graphic Novel. Aya grew up in rural Oregon, where she discovered her passion for stories and drawing; studied at Brown University, where she majored in religious studies; and traveled extensively in Southeast Asia. She then received an illustration degree from the ArtCenter College of Design and has worked as a freelance artist in London, England, and Portland, Oregon, where she now lives with her family. She invites you to visit her online at ayamorton.com or on Instagram @ayamorton.art.

"The simple scenes paint a warm portrait of parents who treasure moments that disappear all too quickly."
Publishers Weekly
"Morton creates a paean for parents just trying to cut through the chaos of their everyday lives and remember to enjoy what they have."
Kirkus
