An innovative and delight-filled picture book that explores the infinite possibilities of each day—from powerhouse creative team Chelsea Lin Wallace and Adam Rex.
A lot will happen today: 22 million people will celebrate birthdays, 55 earthquakes will shake the earth, and 275 million stars will be born.
Yes, quite a lot will happen today. But what will happen to the Day?
Chelsea Lin Wallace and Adam Rex explore the things that could happen on any given day through the perspective of the Day itself. When the Day realizes it’s only one of many, it feels insignificant. But as it ticks on, it realizes that every day matters—in the moments, the milestones, and the memories that can make it last a lifetime.
