Diary of a

Diary of a... is a joyful collection of illustrated diary entries written and drawn by second- and third-grade authors who imagine the world through the eyes of animals-and even a book itself. Across its pages, readers meet a little red bird, a giraffe, bunnies, birds, a deer, a doggy, and a book, each keeping a diary for one week. Every day brings a new surprise: disco parties, hopping races, jail breaks, bakery heists, school troubles, love stories, and quiet moments of rest.Each diary entry is short, funny, and full of personality, capturing the unique voice of its author. Some characters get into trouble, some fall in love, some go to school or the carnival, and some simply eat dinner or lay an egg. Together, these simple daily moments form lively stories that feel both imaginative and deeply familiar. The humor is often unexpected, the observations sharp, and the illustrations playful and expressive.At its heart, Diary of a... celebrates creativity, curiosity, and the freedom to see the world from another point of view. The book introduces young readers to the idea of personification while also showing how stories can unfold over time, one day at a time. Because the entries follow a weekly structure, the book is especially inviting for early readers, who can dip in anywhere or read straight through.Created through a museum and school-based publishing project, Diary of a... honors children as authors, artists, and storytellers. It invites readers to laugh, wonder, and maybe even imagine writing a diary of their own. Read more
