A perfect graduation gift, all about the unconditional love we have for our little ones--at every age and stage.
A Mighty Girl Best Book of the Year
When Daisy is born, Daddy says she's wonderful for crying, sleeping, and playing peek-a-boo. When she's one, Mommy says she's wonderful for banging on pots and pans in a "rock 'n' roll band."
Grandma and Grandpa say she's wonderful for saying, "Nooooooooo," when she's two. Her uncles for taking a mud bath when she's three, and her neighbor for riding her scooter all the way to the library when she's four.
Then comes the biggest milestone of all. School! It takes a village to get her there--as parents, grandparents, uncles, and neighbors escort Daisy to the door. But will Daisy be wonderful at school? Yes! She shares, makes a friend, and reaches the toilet just in time!
"I was wonderful!" Daisy shouts.
Bright colors and joyful compositions filled with humorous details depict Daisy's community of adoring family and friends.
Perfect for children entering preschool or kindergarten, for preschool graduation, or as a WONDERFUL baby shower gift. The jacket has a growth chart attached so you can measure your own child's wonderfulness.
Preschool curriculum subjects include self-esteem, growing, family, community, starting school, all about me, and blended families.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
From the day that Daisy was born, the loving adults in her life, including her Black mother and white father, have continually offered the same sage directive: "Go be wonderful." And in their eyes, "she was," whether dancing, learning to use the potty, or even throwing a tantrum. Chessa's moving multimedia scenes celebrate common maturation milestones in sunny, vibrant colors, showing Daisy thriving in her intimate friends-and-family community, raking leaves and interacting with the family dog. But when it comes time to start school, Daisy is filled with "what if" anxiety and not so sure she'll be wonderful in a new, mysterious place. Reassuringly, the creators outline "what did happen," showing that even on a first day with some bumpy moments, everything turns out just fine, and Daisy remains as wonderful as ever. A warmly resonant recount of Daisy's early years sets the stage for this universal confidence booster with a gentle, joyful tone. Ages 3–6.
