Winner of the English Association Picture Book Awards 2021, non
fiction 4-7 Nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2021 It's the
beginning of a new day, and through a series of enticing riddles,
nature invites a little girl to come out and explore. Who scribbles
on the sidewalk with glistening ink? Snail! Who's a comma in a
long, long sentence of a stream? Tadpole! Active readers will
delight in the clever language and striking illustrations. With
each page turn, children will solve the riddles about the familiar
animals, plants and the weather that the girl in the story
encounters outdoors throughout a whole day. 'The power of Portis's
poems, and the surprise each page turn allows, lets readers
experience familiar moments with awakened senses, offering them
nothing less than a new world filled with fresh experiences.' -
Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A remarkable book ... simple but never over-simplified." Observer
"An invaluable tool for parents struggling to cope with children's
changing moods. No home - or school - should be without this book."
Lancashire Evening Post A warm, gentle book for young children who
sometimes struggle to express what they're feeling. Amanda
McCardie's supremely sensitive text explores different emotions
through the eyes of two young children. Over the course of the
narrative, Sam and Kate experience feeling happy, grumpy,
embarrassed, shy, nervous, frightened, sad, angry and jealous -

different situations at home and at school, while the text explores
how emotions can change over time, escalating or fading away. A
book full of warmth and reassurance, and a brilliant tool for
parents and carers. "As a gentle, perceptive and useful examination
of feelings, this cannot be bettered." LoveReading4Kids "A warm,
gentle book for young children who sometimes struggle to express
what they're feeling." The Bookseller Children's Buyer's Guide "A
carefully thought out, perceptive, sensitive and well-written book
that little ones will find fun, enjoyable and nurturing ... a
really useful addition to any family or classroom library." The
Bookbag "An important book ... written sensitively and illustrated
beautifully." Magpie That "Exquisitely illustrated, it is a book
that has great purpose and that will spark interesting
conversations with your little ones." Anorak "The perfect
introduction to talking to your child about emotions and
encouraging them to understand how others may be feeling." Made for

the narrative... A great way to encourage children to understand
how they sometimes feel." Library Mice
