From first haircut to first ice cream cone, each year brings a new cycle of experiences as explored in this joyous picture book, A Year of Everyday Wonders.
With each new year come countless little wonders. From the highsâfirst snowfall, first new umbrella, first beach tripâto the lowsâfirst missed bus, first lost umbrella, first sunburnâevery year older means another cycle of everyday experiences.
In their clever, playful, observant picture book, acclaimed author Cheryl B. Klein and illustrator Qin Leng explore many truths of childhood through a calendar year of small moments that, all together, comprise what it is to be a kid.
âThe cyclical aspect makes for a pleasing bedtime story wind-down as the year closes, but this is also a creative way to talk about time and, maybe, to explain how long it is until a months-away yearned-for event.â âBulletin of the Center for Childrenâs Books (Starred Review)
