Description
Nothing Ever Happens by Heidi McKinnon is a delightful exploration of everyday life and the surprises it might hold.
"Nothing ever happens!" is the refrain of many a monotonous day. "Every day is always the same." The scenery is unchanging: same old rock, same old shell, same old seaweed, same old starfish.
But what if something amazing and extraordinary and unexpected transformed the mundane into the remarkable? This book invites readers to anticipate the wonders that might be just around the corner.
