JORDI'S AMAZING DAY
​​
Jordi greets the day with a ready smile, but soon little things start to go wrong. One by one, the mishaps pile up. No favorite cereal. A missed bus. A tumble at recess. At the end, when Jordi looks back on her day, she sees the sparkles of joy, kindness, and resilience hidden by the clouds of not-so-amazing moments. In a story told entirely through pictures, Jordi's Amazing Day expresses a heartwarming reminder that perspective can reveal amazing and precious moments in what appear to be the worst days.
