Why: It started out as a bad day for little yellow bird, little white
dog, little orange fox, and little brown squirrel in Henkes’ new
book, “A Good Day.” But love, luck, persistence and discovery
make the day much brighter. With the thick black lines used in
“Kitten’s First Full Moon” and a palate of watercolors, children
will see that everyday can turn into a better one.
