My daughter LOVES to make choices and point at things in books, so this is perfect for her. She is almost four and we have read this every night since we got it. Beautiful and diverse.

Anything Julie Morstad illustrates is beautiful and brilliant and this book is no different.
It's kind of like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure in re: all the small but significant decisions we make in a day (what to wear, how to wear your hair, what to eat for breakfast, etc.)

Anything with Julie Morstad illustrations will find a way into my collection! I just love her work.
Pages with lots of options and labels for everything - this is a book I would have poured over as a child.
Following children as they go through their day and all of the many choices they have - young readers will love this engaging book.

Would be difficult to read aloud as a story, but with interactive elements, would be the kind of book kids could spend time with independently/in a group pouring over the illustrations and options.

Beautiful illustrations! Pictures are of ethnically diverse kids, which is reflected in other choices in the novel (different cultures' breakfast foods, toys). Not really suited for storytime since it's more of a sit and look closely and learn some new vocabulary or share stories that come up.

I love how this book encourages participation and invites the reader to make comparisons to her own life. Fun illustrations, too!

It's Julie Morstad! It's flawless, beautiful and full of wonderful texture. I could read this book everyday, because it's always new. A very empowering book for making choices and celebrating your own unique personality.
Julie always invites us in to explore childhood and to find a peice of ourselves.

I was initially curious about this book because it was a new offering from the incredibly talented Julie Morstad, but it was its creativity and the way it cultivates conversation and a sense of individual choice and individuality that truly won me over. Just one of many examples throughout the book is when readers are asked what they would like to wear and are then offered a two-page spread with everything from party dresses and lederhosen to fairy wings and eye patches from which to choose. I can't wait to share this book with readers!
