For Just One Day

Children imagine turning into all sorts of animals—for just one day—in a lighthearted tale told in "upbeat rhymes" with "funky modern/retro illustrations" (Kirkus Reviews).   For just one day, I'd like to be a busy, buzzing bumble . . . BEE!   What child hasn't pretended to be a monkey, a bear, or a bumblebee? After imagining the fun of transforming into a variety of animals from around the world, a sweet ending reminds little ones that the very best thing they can be is exactly who they are.   Nominated for a Building Block Award from the Missouri Library Association
