When a child anticipates a long-awaited day with cousins and grandparents, the child discovers every day is filled with surprises and joy that can easily be lost if one is not present.
Written in an A to Z format, this book shows children how a movement builds from one person to a billion, teaching them new terms from "conservation" to "activism.".
Illustrations and easy-to-read text urge the reader to go beyond the noise of the city to listen to a crow's caw, rain dripping onto a sidewalk, and whispered goodnights. Includes notes about listening.
