A bad day can turn into a good one! Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes's masterful picture book explores a single day from five different points of view.
It’s a bad day for a little yellow bird who loses his
favorite tail feather, a little white dog whose leash
gets tangled, a little orange fox who can’t find his
mother, and a little brown squirrel who drops her
nut. But then something good happens to each of
them, turning a bad day into a good one. This sturdy board book edition is perfect for snuggling up.
What makes a good day? What makes a bad day? And how can bad be transformed into good?
This exploration of opposites and emotions was described as a deceptively simple picture book, expertly tuned
to the emotions and imaginations of young children by ALABooklistin a starred review.
