Tell Me About Your Day

Tell Me About Your Day Today by Mem Fox, with illustrations
by Lauren Stringer (published by Beach Lane Books, 2012).

There's something so very comforting about coming home and having someone ask "Tell me about your day today."

I love this book for many reasons: the love behind the words, the tenderness and memories behind the images.

I cuddle  my memories of childhood whenever I read this beautiful book: I remember those late night conversations with friends tucked in under the blankets, and making a cubby house under the table with sheets for walls and torches for lamplights.


I read this out aloud to children whenever I want to teach resilience and hope in a tomorrow that will be better.

And then sometimes just before bed, just before I turn out the light,  I  read this book again and again and again.

It's magic.

I love to go back to Mem's website. I can hear her talking to me about bedtime, and magic and possums. Perhaps you would like to visit with her too:
