Review “If you’re lucky, every so often you come across a book that takes your breath away. My Amazing Day is that kind of book.”— Susan Graham, Project Race Blog “What a delight for both the adult reader and the sensorial learner—the child…a delight for the eyes and the heart. In carefully selected words and pictures the creators have taught the young child and the adult reader volumes about gratitude and appreciation for the meaningful things in life.”— Dr. Intisar Shareef, Co-chair, Early Childhood Education Department, Contra Costa College, Contra Costa, CA “Wonder and gratitude are fabulous things to nurture in children, but a book like this could easily become sentimental...This book, however, has such engaging photos, clean design, and child-friendly words and concepts that it is wonder-ful, not maudlin. I think kids and families—and children's librarians—will love to get their hands on this! — Leah Langby, Library Development and Youth Services Coordinator, Indianhead Federated Library System, Wisconsin, Keeping Up with Kids blog “This book is a gem and a perfect first book to gift a new mother.”— Patricia Tilton, Children’s Books Heal Blog "It’s lovely and loving...The photos will make you smile. The words feel just right."— Cindy Schuricht, Hundred Book Pile-up Blog “And finally, something I’ve never seen before, the book closes with a retrospective look at the day in which the child thanks everything that brought her joy including and ending with herself . What I see this as is an exquisite acknowledgement of the claim and importance, ownership and agency a child should have in her own life.”— Sharon Chang, Multiracial Asian Families Blog My Amazing Day was a collaboration, born from a shared vision to help start habits of gratitude early in children’s lives, as well as an appreciation for the sense of wonder with which young children view the world.
