A New Green Day Summary

A New Green Day by Antoinette Portis

Winner of the English Association Picture Book Awards 2021, non fiction 4-7 Nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2021 It's the beginning of a new day, and through a series of enticing riddles, nature invites a little girl to come out and explore. Who scribbles on the sidewalk with glistening ink? Snail! Who's a comma in a long, long sentence of a stream? Tadpole! Active readers will delight in the clever language and striking illustrations. With each page turn, children will solve the riddles about the familiar animals, plants and the weather that the girl in the story encounters outdoors throughout a whole day. 'The power of Portis's poems, and the surprise each page turn allows, lets readers experience familiar moments with awakened senses, offering them nothing less than a new world filled with fresh experiences.' - Publishers Weekly, starred review

A New Green Day Reviews

It is to be enjoyed and cherished.’ Just Imagine;‘Both Portis’ illustrations and verses are beautifully textured … Every riddle asks readers and listeners to embrace the great outdoors, to re-experience the familiar with all their senses alert and with a willingness to allow each encounter with nature to reveal unexcepted riches.’ Books for Keeps;‘There is SO much to love about this lyrically written book that gently calls us to appreciate our world afresh. Rich in texture, both verbal and visual, Antoinette Portis’ A New Green Day offers fresh lenses through which to see the natural world and its beauty each and every time we set foot outside.’ Red Reading Hub;‘A clever and beautifully realised picture book. Highly recommended.’ School Reading List
