This is a sweet little book from the 2013 Silent Books from the World to Lampedusa collection that is about a lovely day shared between two friends - a giraffe and a dog. It begins with a heart swirling in a circular motion in the sky, and the two friends zooming off in a small red airplane. They encounter a bunch of interesting kites and are so engrossed in watching that they fly into a dark rain cloud. They exit the cloud across a rainbow-filled two-page spread, and travel along the rainbow to a landing spot on top of their dwelling. They prepare and enjoy some snacks, clean the dishes and silverware (and hang them on a clothesline to dry!), then settle in to watch the sunset together. While parts of their day seem ordinary, this story reminds the reader that what you do is not as important as who you spend your time with. Enjoy each day as if it was like this day!
