All in a Day
Illustrated by McClure, Nikki
In All in a Day, Newbery Medal–winning author Cynthia Rylant invites children to slow down and notice the small, meaningful moments that fill a day―from planting a seed and watching it grow to experiencing both joy and disappointment along the way. Told in simple, lyrical verse, the story captures the idea that every day is a “perfect piece of time,” full of possibilities that won’t come again.
