Life is full of surprises, big and small, and what children will grow up to do with their lives is one of the biggest and most joyful surprise of all. So Many Days reminds us to celebrate the choices our children make along the way, and the bravery it takes for them to decide exactly who they want to be. Like Dr. Seuss's Oh, The Places You'll Go, it's a perfect gift for graduations, weddings, new babies, difficult transitions, and when you simply want to let someone know you adore them.
