An Ordinary Day by Elana K. Arnold, illustrated by Elizabet Vukovic. PICTURE BOOK. Beach Lane (Simon), 2020. $18. 9781481472623
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
On one ordinary suburban day, two doctors pull up to neighboring houses and one new human life into the world and one beloved family dog out of it.
Arnold brings gentle life to the small moments for the world which are large moments for those involved. The color palette is muted, which suits the story, but the muted tone of color and story mean that the audience and repeat reading are low.
