What’s it about?
The story.
There are 365 days in a year, and not one of them is the same as any other. Some days go by in a wink; some days seem to last forever. Some days bring wonderful surprises and some bring disappointments, some are rainy and quiet, and some make you want to shout, this is the best day ever! In this warm, reassuring picture book, Daniela Sosa gathers up the full range of a child's days, the big ones and the small ones, the good and the harder, and reminds young readers that every kind of day has something in it worth noticing. Sosa's soft, glowing artwork carries the gentle text, making this a lovely companion to her earlier books Friends and The Suitcase. A quietly affirming read-aloud about paying attention, savouring the good, and trusting that tomorrow will bring a brand-new day.

Right for your child?
Where it lands by age
Best as a shared read-aloud from about 3 to 7, when the gentle reflections on different days resonate most. Early readers of 5 to 7 can read the light text themselves; it works especially well at bedtime.
