Thoughts: Such a sweet, clever book. A Year of Everyday Wonders makes me want to start keeping track of the everyday wonders in my life. I love the innumerable fights with her brother. I grew up with a brother and a sister so I can commiserate. The ink and watercolor illustrations are softly colored and detailed. I like the mix of illustration types---gives the book a journal feel. The book's endpapers are another treasure...snapshots from earlier years in the girl's life. I feel like this is a book that will be treasured by families for years to come. It is the ultimate celebration of the simple things in life. Find out more about the author's process at her website.
Themes: Time, Seasons
