What's Today, Maybe About

Publisher Summary

Today, Maybe is a story about a little girl who is waiting for someone, a friend. She doesn’t yet know who it will be. In a series of surprising and humorous encounters, several well-known characters of children’s literature arrive at her door. But none of them are the one she is waiting for, and she graciously sends them all away. With her bird to keep her company and hope filling her heart, weeks and then months pass as she waits and waits. When there is a scratch at the door one night, certainty fills the little girl’s heart, and she opens the door to discover true friendship is indeed worth waiting for.

    Gorgeous illustrations! I was little afraid that this was going to turn into a princess waiting for a prince book, but it wasn't at all, and has a delightful element of quirkiness and charm that made it just right.
