Description
This joyful ode to the everyday moments in a child's life is a child-friendly reimagining of the classic poem "Pippa's Song" by poet Robert Browning. Perfect for Poetry Month and for fans of Liz Garton Scanlon and Cynthia Rylant.
Waffles for breakfast, walking to school with a friend, playing in the park, making dinner, getting tucked into bed...these moments shape the familiar rhythms of a child's life.
This lyrical celebration of the everyday, with the comforting refrain "all's right with the world," is the perfect read-aloud for bedtime or anytime.
The year's at the spring,
and day's at the morn.
Morning's at seven.
All's right with the world.

"A slice-of-life tale, from dawn to dusk. Drawing inspiration from Robert Browning's 'Pippa's Song,' the soothingly written verse and the vibrant mixed-media illustrations bring this bustling, beautiful neighborhood to life and demonstrate that even in an urban setting, there are ways to appreciate nature. A charmer that captures the exuberance of finding happiness in the little things." - Kirkus Reviews
