Description
From first haircut to first ice-cream cone, each year brings a new cycle of experiences
With each new year comes countless little wonders. From the highs-first snowfall, first new
umbrella, first beach trip-to the lows-first missed bus, first lost umbrella, first sunburn-
every year older means another cycle of everyday experiences.
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.
From first haircut to first ice cream truck, each day of the year brings exciting new experiences

Reviews
**STARRED REVIEW**
"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."
**STARRED REVIEW**
"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."
**STARRED REVIEW**
"Through detailed visual elements, this quietly delightful picture book speaks to the potential treasure of small moments in childhood."
A delightful tale that is likely to be a perennial first at storytime. * Kirkus Reviews *
