Every Day's a Fabulous Holiday combines two things people love: Sandra Boynton's humorous animal illustrations and holidays. But in this case it's not just Christmas and Arbor Day, but a year-long tribute to the obscure, sometimes silly, but always fun-to-commemorate occasions that make ordinary days a little less ordinary. There's February 6th: Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. May 6th: No Homework Day*. September 8th: Iguana Awareness Day. And--dust off the gold parachute pants--October 17th: Wear Something Gaudy Day. Each month's spread features the artist's jazzy chickens, larger-than-life dinosaurs, singing hippos, and other lovable animals with one large illustration at the top of the page and smaller images throughout the grid, all in full color. For the millions of Boynton fans, it's a reason to celebrate every day. Printed on FSC-certified paper. *Celebrate at your own risk.

Author Biography

Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over sixty children's books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 70 million of her books have been sold, "mostly to friends and family," she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced six albums of renegade children's music. Three of her albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold), and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has gone Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed twelve music videos of her songs, including the award-winning "One Shoe Blues" starring B.B. King, "Alligator Stroll" starring Josh Turner, and "Tyrannosaurus Funk" (animation) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
