Book excerpt: Each day is an amazing gift because something grand might happen, even when youre not expecting it. If its raining, why not put on your raincoat and stomp in some pretty puddles? If its sunny, why not go to the beach and soak up the sun? There are gardens nearby, too, where you might hear the birds singing or listen to the buzz of bees. Some days, we might not feel like adventuring. Maybe we want to stay inside and read a book. Still, grand things can happen anytime. In this life, every day is a gift to be treasuredeven when we sometimes have to do things we dont want like cleaning our rooms or helping with the laundry. Its a gift just to be alive! Author Corrinne ONeill shares her own love of life in this playful childrens book, intended to inspire kids to make the most of every moment and find beauty in all things. Its no good to live in the past or the future; all we have is the present. This day is a grand day because its here and it belongs to you. Make the best of the gift youve been given and live!
