A review by tashrow
All in a Day by Cynthia Rylant, Nikki McClure
5.0
Rylant's poetry moves through a day filled with work, blue sky, kindness, faith and rest. It is accompanied by the stunning paper cut artwork of McClure, which elevates this simple book to a new level. The tiny details are what make this book work so well. Children will enjoy poring over the illustrations as Rylant's poem carries them on to the next.
Personally, I love all of the little touches. The untied shoelace, the beauty of birchbark, the small whorls of peas, and dandelion fuzz blowing past. All of these small pieces combine to create a world that we will all recognize and embrace, just as Rylant's poem unites us all in a single day.
Highly recommended, this book is a lovely gem that has a similar palate to The House in the Night. Appropriate for ages 4-7.
