At 9:59 a.m., Jodie is about to put a finishing touch on her drawing when her baby brother takes his first steps, a blackbird finds a worm, a baby is born, etc.; when Jodie completes her drawing, the moment--literally--passes. Readers will be too absorbed by the moment-in-time concept and the intimate community-centric illustrations to miss a conventional narrative.
