A Day in the Life of a Girl

Based on a popular Saturday Evening Post cover from 1952, this picture book is filled with details parents and children will love to explore: breakfast running out the door, horsing around at the town pool, a bike ride and movie with a boy, getting dressed up for a birthday party, late-night jotting in a journal.

At the back of the book is an introduction to Mary Whelan, the actual girl who posed for Rockwell in 1952, and context is given in a short biography about Norman Rockwell.
