On a perfect day, the hours stretch endlessly ahead. Scribbling with chalk, running with kites, digging for shells . . . paddling, climbing, dreaming. Hour unfolds upon hour, with reassuring comfort and sleep beckoning at the end. Danny Parker captures the simplicity, spontaneity, and freedom of an idyllic childhood, while Freya Blackwood's paintings of three children roaming a rolling beachside idyll capture the light - and even the smell and feel - of a perfect summer day. Perfect is balm for the soul.

绘本用诗意简洁的语言和轻松自然的笔触描绘和勾勒出了姐姐弟弟妹妹三个人完美的一天。他们吃完早饭，在家里乱涂乱画、和稀泥、摔破瓷碗之后，跑出了家门，爬上墙头，再跳下来，沿着歪脖子树走过，趟过小河，奔跑着放飞风筝，来到大海边挖沙子，在山雨欲来之际，及时地回到家里，趴在窗户上看大雨倾盆而下，画画，逗小猫玩，看书，安然地进入梦乡……

没有大人的指手画脚，没有人贩子来拐孩子，小河里有水，而且没有被污染，田野上没有废弃的深井，空气清新……多么完美呀！

这些看似最普通不过的乡间日常，在我们看来却变得极为难得。也许，这本绘本会成为众多扇动着的蝴蝶翅膀之一，让我们向美好的生活靠近一点，再靠近一点。
