The Day Artists

Write a Review


The sumptuous collage art and lyrical text of this picture book
liken the sights and sounds of diurnal birds and insects to a
captivating stage performance. 




When golden brushstrokes glaze over the last trace of night,
the day artists gather to perform.
Dew drops sparkle on sweet-smelling grass. 
Brilliant sunbeams fill the stage.


A delightful companion to The Night Artists, this creative nonfiction picture book presents birds, insects, and animals as artists in an enchanting show. The robin is the maestro, and wrens, blue jays, cardinals, bumblebees, katydids, and others join together to create beautiful harmony. Educational back matter
further encourages readers to learn more about the creatures
referenced in the story.
Key Features:

  • An array of "artists": Spotlighted performers include various types of birds and insects. 
  • Bonus educational content: Following the story, a special section presents interesting facts about diurnal creatures and nature.
  • A visual treat: Each element of the artwork was cut from hand-painted/printed papers and glued down piece by piece to create the lush, collage-style illustrations.

With stunning illustrations, charming text, and educational content, this engaging picture book encourages young readers to look at nature in a creative way.
