New York Times best-selling picture-book author Amy Krouse Rosenthal teams with McSweeney's regular Gracia Lam to tell the sweet, simple story of a young child's typical day—from morning to bedtime. Each scene is described in three-word "ABC" phrases, such as "Awake Beautiful Child." Secret "ABC" scenes hidden throughout the artwork—as a secondary "seek and find" game of sorts—will encourage multiple readings and reward close-looking. An ideal read-aloud book to read just after waking or just before bed.
Ever thought about relearning your ABC? In this exotically illustrated book, Ira Gorawara takes the reader on a journey back to elementary school, back to the joy of multi-coloured pens.

These stories urge us to reconnect with parts of our life we have lost touch with, or, perhaps, never been in touch with.
