Are you hungry for a good book? How about a book that
is a gourmet banquet for even the most ravenous reader? Truong's writing is a sensuous literary feast; it makes one want to
read it aloud, to devour each word, to hear it and taste it, just like
Linda, who longs for a certain word "like it was a spoonful of
peach cobbler."
Every bird and every tree
and every living thing
loves the promise in a day,
loves what it can bring
Cynthia Rylant's newest picture book, All in a Day, explores the possibilities in every day. The simple, sweet poetry is perfectly complemented by Nikki McClure's illustrations. I have long been a fan of McClure's gorgeous paper cuts, each created using a single sheet of black paper and an exacto knife. All in a Day makes a wonderful baby shower gift when paired with The First 1,000 Days: A Baby Journal, also illustrated by McClure.
