Today is a normal day. Regular. Plain.
Outstandingly average. Boring. Mundane.
Nothing exciting to do or to see.
Feels just like yesterday, dull as can be.
Maybe you ought to go right back to bed.
Or maybe... letโ€™s celebrate something instead!

Some days seem just plain ordinary. But if you look a bit more closely, you'll discover so many extraordinary things to celebrate! Maybe you'll celebrate imagination and creativity, or celebrate the possibilities offered by an empty page. Maybe you'll celebrate trying something new, or having the courage to climb back up to the top after a stumble. Maybe you'll celebrate the magic of stillness, quiet, and moments of peace.

Discover a world full of wonder and celebrate the extraordinary things all around you with this inspiring picture book from prolific storyteller Josh Funk, illustrated in breathtaking, vivid colour by Kip Alizadeh.
