A Perfect Day

A delightful tale of backyard mischief and unexpected visitors!

Beloved author and illustrator Lane Smith brings his signature wit and charm to A Perfect Day, a warm and funny picture book about a group of animals and their (not so) perfect day in the garden.

Join a lively cast of characters as they bask in the sun, nibble on fresh corn-on-the-cob, and cool off in a clear pool of water. It seems like an idyllic afternoon. . . until an unexpected guest arrives and playful chaos ensues!

Inspired by Smith's real-life encounter with a marauding bear, A Perfect Day features bright, fresh artwork and enormously appealing animal friends. As a follow-up to Smith's Kate Greenaway Medal-winning There Is a Tribe of Kids, this delightful story is perfect for story time and is sure to captivate young readers with its humour and heart.

Discover the joys and surprises of A Perfect Day, a picture book that celebrates the beauty of nature, the power of imagination, and the unexpected adventures that can happen right in your own backyard!
