Description: This book tells of woodland animals waking from their winter sleep, each sensing something special in the snowy forest. As they sniff, run, and gather, the story builds anticipation until the animals joyfully discover the first yellow flower of spring. The book’s simple, repetitive text and striking black-and-white illustrations, with a single burst of color, beautifully celebrate renewal. The Happy Day received a Caldecott Honor in 1950
