Synopsis: Here is a book to celebrate firsts. That first magical day of spring, when it seems the whole world is bursting with life. That first time bursting out of your house after being cooped up for SO long. Your first time on the swingset. Your first time seeing a butterfly. Your first time exploring the world with someone you love. From Henrique Coser Moreira comes a wordless ode to joy and discovery that will stir readers young and old. P R A I S E ★ "Pure joy." –BookPage (starred) ★ "All the delights of spring are found within the covers in this charming, wordless picture book." –School Library Journal (starred) ★ "Ivan Brunetti by way of Rowboat Watkins, and readers will sense the opportunities waiting just outside their own doors. A joyous adventure, bright and brimming with exuberance." –Booklist (starred) ★ "This wordless book celebrates—with abundant style—the arrival of spring… playful and exceptionally funny… A breath of fresh air, in more ways than one." –Horn Book (starred) "A quirky and buoyant romp through spring." –Kirkus "Wordless panels mix the whimsical and the mundane in depicting a child’s exuberant outdoor exploits on the titular first of May." –Publishers Weekly
