A pitch-perfect story about a busy, exhausted, and loving family dealing with one obstacle after another in the run-up to bedtime, in the spirit of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
At the end of a long day, sometimes it feels as if time will keep stretching endlessly. There are errands to run, homework to do, and toys to be put away. Sometimes it’s windy, and stormy, or downright boring. But . . . sometimes, with a little patience, the end of the day can be warm and cozy, surprising and exciting, and just right—filled with reasons to be grateful for the day you’ve had, and to look forward to tomorrow, too.
"Gentle and heartwarming." —Kirkus Reviews
"The text’s soothing rhythm makes for a fine bedtime story." —The Horn Book
"A solid bedtime choice for a kid who needs a reminder that a bad day doesn’t mean the end of the world and that it’s just as important to appreciate little moments as big ones."—The Bulletin
