The Happy Day

The first day of Spring and it's cold here and there's talk of snow.  But at least my tenacious crocuses and daffodils are undeterred.

The Happy Day

Ruth Krauss 1989

In this book by Ruth Krauss, even the animals are happy to see a sign of spring!  They wake up from their sleep and "sniff and run" to the one bright spot of color in the black and grey illustrations.
