Once Upon an Ordinary Day

“Once Upon an Ordinary day”, is the heart warming tale of a young boy who, having decided to quit kisses, learns in a most magical way to appreciate them for what they really are – signatures of love. Try as he might to escape all kisses one day, he is surprised to look at himself in the mirror before going to bed, only to see that his face is covered in big, bright red, shiny, kisses – that won’t wash off! Scared they are stuck on his face forever, he is lured out of hiding by his grandmother, who presents Miles with a very special gift, a wooden box, with the engraved instructions that each night before bed, he can peel each kiss off but must be mindful of the person who cared enough to give it to him, before placing it in the box. With its beautiful and unique illustrations, “Once Upon an Ordinary day” both explores and supports a child’s natural desire to make decisions for his or herself, while gently and playfully instilling the importance of those around them.
