By Anne Wynter, Illustrated by Micha Archer
Publication Date: 2026
Joy for Books Review Score: 100%
Description from Bookshop.org: Anne Wynter perfectly captures the hurry and hustle of a busy day. But when plans change and a girl and her mother slow down to savor small pleasures, the real celebration begins. Dazzling, kaleidoscopic cut paper artwork from Caldecott Honor artist Micha Archer highlights each special moment in this sweet tribute to time spent together.
Joy for Books reviewer comments: "This is what seems like a simple picture book. But don't be deceived! It is light on text but rich with visual detail, illustrations done in collage form. Cover is eye catching with a Black mom and her daughter on the cover. Storyline is clear even with few words... Seems perfect for a Pre-K or K classroom. Low text and vivid illustrations allow for rich discussion and inferencing. Highly recommend. Cover art is absolutely beautiful."
“One of my very favorite books of the year. This book does so much and is so beautiful.”
