with the pictures. I then re-read the story, trying to picture it as an adventure. It then took on a different meaning than my first impression of a disjointed story, that made no sense to this nearly 50 yo adult. Do I think all children will "get" the story? No, but for those who do, it will be a wonderful adventure. I loved the artwork. Absolutely beautiful! Thanks to Don's wife for seeing the value and sharing these treasures with us. 4 stars from this reviewer.

About the book:
Don Freeman, the creator of Corduroy, was one of the most beloved and popular author/illustrators of picture books for children. After Freeman’s death in 1978, colleagues and his wife decided to use his never before published artwork and make a commemorative book using his wonderful illustrations. Paired with Linda Zuckerman's thoughtful rhyming text, The Day Is Waiting takes readers on a tour of our big, wide world and reminds us that no matter how far we roam, we always have home to come back to.
This classic tale is imbued with Freeman’s gentle humor, spontaneity, and his appreciation of the variety and complexity of human experiences, creating a book that children will enjoy reading again and again.
