Description
This is a book about mindfulness. About relishing the magic of the here and now. About enjoying the extraordinary unfoldings of an ordinary day. Moving from morning to night, the narrator becomes, by turns, boy or girl, of ever-changing ethnicity and ability, inhabiting city, country, or suburb. They are all children everywhere, opening themselves to the gift of time.

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.

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.

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!
