Exactly what kids (and adults) need. We are so worried about getting to the next things we forget to slow down, look around, and see the beauty all around. I know most people will use this with younger kids, but I think middle schoolers can enjoy this aw well.

A gentle book about how life is full of little moments to treasure and ignite curiosity, appreciation, and love in your mind even when the world is unknown and scary. The eARC we received was formatted in a way that made it extremely difficult for us to read more than once but my 5 year old enjoyed in immensely and we have requested a copy for our local library and hope to see it on the shelves this year! I think this is wonderful reminder to parents and children alike, that sometimes we just need to slow down and, on most days, we will find the beauty within the day.

This book was awesome. It is a simple look at “most days”. What happens everyday, but also how the days slightly change from day to day. The representation in this book is awesome. Almost everyone will be able to see themselves and find something that reminds them of most of their days.

"Most Days" provides a reassuring message for children about the routines and changes in everyday life. This book has sweet, gentle imagery featuring diverse people, families and activities. This is a good read-aloud for kids who enjoy routine or would benefit from mindfulness. It's also a good reminder for adults to acknowledge and appreciate the little, predictable things in life. Even though the world can be a scary or uncertain place, some things are certain. Like leaves on an autumn day.

Thank you to NetGalley, Michael Leannah (author), and Megan Baratta (illustrator) for a digital copy of this book.

A wonderful book to show how to take a moment and enjoy the small things that happen on most days. My favorite in the series with illustrations of diverse characters. Perfect for starting writing about appreciating the small moments in your life.

This book was adorable and I loved reading it with my kids. Love the inordinary within the ordinary.

The minutes of an ordinary day are filled with extraordinary things if one takes the time to notice. This is a lovely book about embracing the wonders of our world and appreciating the good that surrounds us.

What a sweet illustrated children's book about appreciating each day. The author and illustrator highlight the quiet beauty of ordinary days and point out our ability to notice new and different things when we are intentional in our observations.

I especially love Ms. Baratta's illustrations in Most Days, which is her debut illustrated children's book. Mr. Leannah's words are appropriate for all children and share an important message.

Thank you to NetGalley, author Michael Leannah, and illustrator Megan Baratta for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

An uplifting book that focuses on the simple things of everyday life . The book shows a diversity of children and adults doing everyday life. A wonderful children's book that any child could see themselves through the pages.

This is a sweet book with a good message perfect for early readers or as a read-aloud. It's a great way to show kids to notice the everyday things and enjoy them.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Tilbury House Publishers for the advance copy.

"Most Days" is a lovely book showing children the importance of noticing and appreciating the small yet wonderful things in every day life. I recommend this book for older preschoolers and young elementary kids who are learning to be mindful.

Thank you Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a sweet book about all the little things that make life wonderful.

While everything seems to be the same, we wake up to a new day and everything is just a little bit different. We are a day older, the air we breathed in yesterday is far away today, we hear new music, new buildings, an extra leaf on the plant... We are reminded to pay attention to what is happening around us in a gentle, loving way.

Our day to day lives may not seem exciting or thrilling, but when we begin to slow down and appreciate all that life gives us, these quiet days should be celebrated more.

I loved the illustrations. They bring up feelings of comfort, love, family and hope. I absolutely love the blue jay who appears in nearly every page whether as a bird, a pin, a mug or a drawing.

*** Received as an ARC from NetGalley

“Most People” was a positive, encouraging look at humankind, and “Most Days” is probably equally positive and lovely, but could not form an opinion because of the way the EARC downloaded. Every page was only partially visible, pages appeared out of order. I hope to see it in physical form when it is published! EARC from NetGalley.

I received an electronic ARC from Tilbury House Publishers through NetGalley.
Delightful book that takes elementary level readers through an ordinary day. Leannah reminds all of us to appreciate the simple daily moments that occur around us. To take time to see the little pieces of life that keep the world moving forward. The illustrations capture a wide variety of people being in the present and sharing together.
Terrific book to read early in the school year and to re-read throughout whenever classes need a reminder about mindfulness. Also a terrific book to share as a family when life may be out of balance.

This book perfectly exemplifies mindfulness in an accessible way for children. It also puts a spin on the appreciating the magic of every day. One thing that could help this book is if it offered ideas on how to be mindful or even exercises for kids. For example, when the narrator talks about how they sometimes get so busy that they don't notice all the things happening around them, a sentence about how they like to stop, breath deeply, and just listen to the noises could help. There are many simple, explicit methods they could have mentioned. Beyond that, this is a good addition to library collections and could be great for read-a-louds.

This book is about enjoying the little things everyday. It shows how everyday is a gift and to take it all in.

Most Days is about appreciating the little things in life. The things that kids notice in nature, and the things a kids notice that happen everyday around them. I love that Most Days includes diverse characters, and uses all five senses when describing things happening in the book. The details in the pictures are so beautiful too! Most Days is a lovely little book about embracing and appreciating the ordinary day. I can’t wait to purchase this to read with my daughter!

Teaching the importance of embracing our ordinary lives, this book embraces the reality of routine while highlighting the unique power of nature, the changing of the seasons, and the ordinary magic of everyday life. Portraying diverse characters and settings, this book will be one you will want to have on your shelves.

I read an advanced copy of Most Days, by Michael Leannah and Megan Elizabeth Baratta. Most days are ordinary, but not all. This book is about noticing the little, things around you. A spider web, a puddle. Just enjoying the moment your in, not rushing.
