About The Book
A compassionate story about memory loss, love, and the special bond between a young girl and her grandmother, gently opening the door to important conversations about aging family members.
Tali loves spending time with her nona. The duo spend the day preparing traditional Sephardic Jewish dishes—bourekas (baked pastries), yeprakas (stuffed grape leaves), and more—when Tali notices that her nona is quite forgetful, sometimes calling her by her mother’s name or not remembering the meal they're making. Tali begins her journey to identify when Nona is in the “Timeless Time,” where Nona weaves the past and present together in complicated and beautiful ways.
Tali and the Timeless Time poignantly and sensitively tells the story of a young girl’s empathy and curiosity about her grandmother’s confusion and memory loss. Perfect for children navigating their changing relationship with an aging family member, this heartwarming tale also centers on the importance of traditions that bind us together across time and generations.
