The best part of my day was reading this book and enjoying the charm and detail of each wonderful illustration. Every parent or grandparent has, in this book, a fantastic way to teach children how to think positively with gratitude. The beautifully detailed artwork will help to open their eyes to the wonderment of the world around them. I look forward to starting the tradition of sharing this book with my grandchildren! Simple but profound thoughts, and beautiful art make this a book to buy or gift for every young family!! Warm and wonderful!!
You will love sharing this gorgeous book with the children in your life. The prose is delightful and the illustrations are a visual feast. When you open the cover and turn to the first page, the colorful illustrations jump off the page and the words make you smile. It's a book reminiscent of the storybooks I read my daughter 30 years ago..."A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson (which was illustrated by Tasha Tudor), "The Sugar-Plum Tree" and "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod", both by Eugene Field. There are no Angry Birds or reluctant dragons here. Sarah takes us back to the classic storybook and imbues the verses with simple touches of gratitude: "Was it feeding the birds while they chirp and tweet? It's how birdies say "thanks" for the treat!" This is going to be a children's Classic. One of those books that makes you want to snuggle with the young children in your life, sharing the book with love and a smile. It brought back memories for me of my own childhood when my mother would read my sisters and I to sleep.
Delightful, Beautifully illustrated children's book that adults can enjoy as well. Like its predecessor, "Simple Abundance", it reminds everyone that regardless of the stresses in our lives, gratitude for simple pleasures is a gift that continues giving.
The Best Part of The Day (Hardcover) by Sarah Ban BreathnachCharming book to read to the family especially at bedtime. This book reminds me of my childhood and the stories that were read to me. It's beautifully written and the illustrations by Wendy Edelson are absolutely gorgeous. When going through the story again we would see things in her pictures that we missed the first time, what detail she puts into her work. This book will get everyone talking of the favorite part of their own day as well. Im sure my family will enjoy this book over and over again. This book will also be shared with a family members preschool class and cannot wait to hear how the children liked this story. There is also a Best Part of the Day Activity Guide! (website link in book). I will highly recommend this book.
I loved reading this sweet and tender children's book, The Best Part of The Day, written by Sarah Ban Breathnach and beautifully illustrated by Wendy Edelson. The reflective tone of the story offers both reader and child alike the opportunity to melt into those special bedtime rituals for remembering moments to be grateful for in each day's simple pleasures. Looking at these whimsical illustrations by Wendy Edelson will help children everywhere to learn the wonder and delight in counting their daily blessings as the images come alive on the page. Certainly, reading this delightful story and gazing at the pictures made me long for those early days of being curled up with my own children and grandchildren when they were little.When you purchase a book for the little ones in your life, consider buying a few extra copies to drop off at your local children's hospital to help those families make it through their long day. It will offer comfort.The Best Part of The Day made my day. It is the perfect gift for anyone who loves children.
This gentle book full of kindness is a perfect way to introduce Ms Breathnach's writing to children. It is also a visual feast with a beautiful timeless message. The moment you open it kids (and inner kids) are introduced to a world with little surprises tucked in every corner. I've already snagged one and will include more on my holiday/birthday lists. It particularly grabbed me in how Ms. Edelson captures animals' whimsy and warmth without resorting to cloying syrupy look. The only thing I would wish is if it were an actual size of a coffee table. I hope (inside) pics are posted or I will do it. Obsessed with the blissful look on the foxes face and all the critters. Whatever draws you in, it will surely become a beloved family classic read again and again. In a world full of disposable 'stuff', that's rather nice. I hope to see this turned into a series.
Sarah Bon Breathnach has been a best selling author of adult books for over 20 years. This is her first children's book and it is a real treasure.Sarah's book reminds us to take the time to enjoy the simple pleasures in our daily lives. She reminds us to show our gratefulness for them each day. Sarah's book takes a family through all the seasons of the year and through rhyming text and gorgeous illustrations by Wendy Edelson, I believe this story will become a favorite of your family too.Why not begin your own ritual of asking each person in your family "what was the best part of your day?"Here is quote by the 13th century Germany mystic Meister Eckhard that Sarah shared at the end of her book: "If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough."What was your favorite part of your day today?*I received this for review - all opinions are my own*
A beautifully written and illustrated book. My great granddaughter, Emma spent the first five minutes just examining the cover. As we read each page, she'd stop to look at the illustrations before we moved on. I read the book to her twice while she was visiting and she was completely enchanted both times. I am purchasing two more for my other grandchildren. It's so refreshing to find a children's book with a positive message, no scary creatures and beautiful illustrations.I'm a long time fan of Sarah's and am so pleased that I'm able to share her wisdom and joy in living with my grandchildren and great grandchildren.
