Olivia is having one of those days.
From the moment she arrives at daycare at 6:00 in the morning, she is tired, grumpy, and ready to go home. But as Olivia moves through her busy day, something begins to change.
Through classroom routines, play, friendship, caring teachers, counting activities, big feelings, rest time, and lots of little moments of learning, Olivia discovers that a difficult morning does not have to decide the rest of her day.
Olivia's Long Day is a warm, engaging picture book that helps young children understand emotions, daily routines, friendship, self-regulation, and the rhythm of a full day in early childhood care. With interactive counting moments from 1 to 12, it gives families and educators plenty to talk about together.
