That Day in May

By Alice Kivlon

Boats sail in the clouds, while bugs dance in the moonlight and stars are strung by strings in the sky. Envision this with animals and bugs in bizarre and sometimes thought-provoking situations. That's what's revealed in That Day in May.

Unusual occurrences start the journey when Gus and his fellow giraffes are surprised by a rising umbrella. The umbrella rising up, all on its own. So Gus and his friends take the reader throughout their village to see what else is unexpectedly on the rise, or surrealistically in the sky.

The story is told by the hour from 6:00 am till midnight on a day in May. With the turn of each page the hour reveals various locations with animals and nature's creatures such as bugs, encountering peculiar situations. Adjoining the enchanting illustrations, a clock is featured within each page's words to inspire children how to tell time.

It's a story with imaginative imagery that will encourage wild concepts and conversations beyond the book's pages.
