En évoquant le temps qui s'écoule en secondes, en minutes, en heures, en jours, en années, etc. de même que les apprentissages et activités qui le meublent, l'auteure dresse un portrait poétique de l'enfance, faite de petits et de grands bonheurs. Car l'enfance "est une très longue suite de clins d'oeil, de bisous, de chansons et d'averses, de folles cabrioles dans les jardins fleuris, de sauts et de culbutes, de leçons et de rires" ...
