The Next Fine Day

I would take this book with me if my house caught on fire. I keep it by my bed! This outstanding treasure of children's literature is a too well-kept secret--a captivating story for readers of all ages. A rare treat for the senses, its descriptions are so vivid the reader can feel the wind and breathe the air. A story of deep pathos--quiet, not high adventure, but with a main character who is completely endearing. A beautiful story which resonates the remarkable skill of it's Newbery-winning author.
