Some Days Summary

Some Days by Karen Kaufman Orloff

Some days are chocolate pudding pie days. Kites up in the sky days. Jumping super high days. This rhyming picture book--from the author of the bestselling I Wanna Iguana series and Miles of Smiles--is a moving, powerful, delightful exploration of a child's shifting feelings. Come along and follow a year in the life of a young boy and girl as they discover their many different and ever-changing emotions, including joy, fear, anger, jealousy, excitement, pride, disappointment, loneliness, and contentment. As children read about angels in the snow days as well as need my mommy now days, they'll begin to understand how to cope with both positive and negative feelings.

Some Days Reviews

We all have our good days and bad days. Two children, one cued as a girl and the other as a boy, navigate the ups and downs of everyday emotions. 'Some days are chocolate pudding pie days. / Kites up in the sky days. / Jumping super high days.' Each double-page spread is narrated in similar rhyming triplets and is brightly illustrated with cartoon stylings that are dedicated to celebrating simple joys. There are a few extraordinary experiences--'Some days are picking out a pup days, ' in which the children are at an adoption center, literally dog-piled by adorable puppies--that cause the rhyme to spread out over multiple spreads. The primary focus, however, is on emotions commonly experienced at school, home, and other public places. More importantly, it acknowledges that 'Some days are feeling kind of mad days, ' in which the girl scribbles angrily with crayons, and 'Feeling all alone days, ' which shows the girl sadly curled up in bed with her bunny. . . . The title concludes with 'Learning to be me days, ' signaling that these emotions are ongoing and natural. The girl has pale skin and long black hair in pigtails, while the boy has brown skin and tightly curled black hair. Whether they are neighborhood friends or siblings in a multiracial family is unclear. . . . celebrates the spectrum of a child's experiences. --Kirkus
