A little girl befriends a bee, which takes her on a journey of discovery in this wordless picture book.

A little boy wants to return to yesterday because it was the best day ever. He asks his grandfather for help, who tells him there is no reason to go back in time. He can be happy every day.

If yesterday was the best day ever, wouldn’t it be great to find a way to repeat it? A whimsical tale about happiness with sure appeal for science-minded kids — and wise grandparents — everywhere. What could beat yesterday’s perfect day at the fair? Maybe nothing, one boy thinks, and he wishes he could go back and do it again. So he puts all his scientific knowledge to work, from stars to time machines to wormholes (is it possible he could find one in his garden?). He thinks that maybe Grandad could help him. But Grandad, in sharing some memories from his own past, reminds him that every new day brings the chance of a new adventure. With quirky illustrations imparting a sense of wonder, Alison Jay takes a fanciful look at being content in the here and now.

Vincent zou graag de dag van gisteren nog een keer beleven. Hij kijkt naar de sterren, denkt na over wormholes en tijdmachines, maar hoort van zijn opa dat het echt niet kan.
