From the highs--first snowfall, first new <br> umbrella, first beach trip--to the lows--first missed bus, first lost umbrella, first sunburn-- <br> every year older means another cycle of everyday experiences. <br> In their clever, playful, observant picture book, acclaimed author Cheryl B. Klein and illustrator Qin Leng explore many truths of childhood through a calendar year of small moments that, all together, comprise what it is to be a kid. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "Through detailed visual elements, this quietly delightful picture book speaks to the potential treasure of small moments in childhood." -- "School Library Journal"<br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "The cyclical aspect makes for a pleasing bedtime story wind-down as the year closes, but this is also a creative way to talk about time and, maybe, to explain how long it is until a months-away yearned-for event."<b> </b>-- "Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"<br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "Klein's touch is light and Leng's movement-filled vignettes are harmonious as they capture the year in an album whose joys and disappointments become a cyclical, cumulative string of memories."-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"A delightful tale that is likely to be a perennial first at storytime." -- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Cheryl B.
