An ordinary day in an ordinary neighborhood turns out to be quite extraordinary in this moving story about the circle of life. It’s an average day in the neighborhood—children play, roses are watered, and a crow watches over it all. But then two visitors arrive at two houses, one to help a family say hello to a new baby and one to help a family say goodbye to a beloved pet. This sensitive picture book takes a gentle look at life, death, the bonds of family, and the extraordinary moments that make ordinary days so special.
Reviews with the most likes.
An Ordinary Day takes place on an ordinary street in an ordinary neighborhood.
In one house it was a time of saying goodbye to an old friend.
In the house next door it was a time of saying hello to a new companion.
“It was an ordinary day in the neighborhood.
It was an extraordinary day in the neighborhood.
Like all days,
and all neighborhoods,
everywhere.”
Simple, yet achingly beautiful story.
