Amazon Description

This lovely book illuminates all the possibilities a day offers—the opportunities and chances that won’t ever come again—and also delivers a gentle message of good stewardship of our planet. Newbery Medal winner Cynthia Rylant’s poetic text, alongside Nikki McClure’s stunning, meticulously crafted cut-paper art, makes this picture book not only timeless but appealing to all ages, from one to one hundred.

One Potato Review

With woodcut, striking illustrations from Nikki McClure, and Cynthia Rylant at her understated best: “A day is a perfect piece of time to live a life, to plant seed.” Everything here is so restful and optimistic, this looks like it’s been with us for a very long time, or will be. A bedtime classic then, right there next to When the Wind Stops.
