This review is part of the Green Books campaign. Today 200 bloggers take a stand to support books printed in an eco-friendly manner by simultaneously publishing reviews of 200 books printed on recycled or FSC-certified paper. By turning a spotlight on books printed using eco- friendly paper, we hope to raise the awareness of book buyers and encourage everyone to take the environment into consideration when purchasing books.
The campaign is organized for the second time by Eco-Libris, a green company working to make reading more sustainable. We invite you to join the discussion on "green" books and support books printed in an eco-friendly manner!

All in a Day
by Cynthia Rylant, illustrated by Nikki McClure;
Abrams Books for Young Readers (March 2009); ISBN 9780810983212; 32 pages
Book Source: Review copy from publisher
"Every bird and every tree
and every living thing
loves the promise in a day,
loves what it can bring."Carpe diem (seize the day) is a phrase that most of us are familiar with but might not always take to heart. Each day is a gift, full of hope and promise. Cynthia Rylant reminds readers to live each day to the fullest in her book,
All in a Day. She doesn't often mention particulars in her wonderful, poetic verses, but rather describes a day using broad phrases that apply to all lives and appeal to all ages.
"The past is sailing off to sea, the future's fast asleep. A day is all you have to be, it's all you get to keep." Nikki McClure's idyllic cut paper illustrations provide the reader with imagery needed to visualize a perfect day in the life of a child. From sunrise to sunset, a little boy's life is full of simple moments outside as he takes joy in both work and play, observes nature and spends time with family. He feeds the chickens, blows dandelion seeds, cuddles in a hammock, and takes a walk through the woods. Each and every image is nature-based and full of astonishing detail. McClure is a master of cut paper art and each illustration is cut by hand from a piece of black paper.

So glad you are involved in the Green Books campaign too. I love the book and what you did with it.
I love that you included the craft portion. Wonderful. What a wide variety of books in this green books campaign. Sounds like a book with some great advice.
Thank you for including the "how-to" information. I am a school librarian so the children at my school will appreciate seeing this.

I love books that are simple and fun for children, but also have some thought-provoking elements for parents. My daughter loves rhyming books and this one sounds very cute.
This book sounds like it has things for both a child and adult. What a wonderful thing!
