Why Kids and Parents Love It

• The Psalm 118:24 foundation gives This Is the Day God Made for You one of the most joyfully declarative scriptures in the devotional tradition — not a prayer of petition or a posture of quiet gratitude but a shout of jubilant recognition that this day, right now, this exact moment is the one God made and gave, which is the most naturally energizing, most toddler-appropriate, most jump-out-of-bed-and-step-into-the-sunshine faith posture imaginable, and the one that Amy Parker translates into a board book with the same bouncing, forward-moving energy that the psalm itself demands
• The diverse illustrations of This Is the Day God Made for You place children who look like every child in the pages of a story that belongs to every child — a visual inclusivity that reflects the Psalm’s own universality, that this day was made for all of us, that the beauty and wonder available in every moment is not reserved or rationed but given completely to every child in every illustration and every child looking at those illustrations from the lap of someone who loves them
• Amy Parker’s joyous rhyming text carries the energy of the carpe-diem message in the most child-accessible, most read-aloud-exciting form available — rhymes that bounce with the same enthusiasm as the day they celebrate, that build with each page turn toward the jubilant THIS IS THE DAY declaration that children will begin to shout along with before the book is finished the second time, making every morning read-aloud the most energizing, most faith-filled, most step-into-the-sunshine start to the day imaginable
