Donovan's Big Day is a book about being a kid entrusted with a Very Important Task on a special day. Donovan wakes up excited, washes like crazy, gobbles his pancakes without making a mess, and puts on all his special new clothes. Newman captures the Big Day excitement very well. Only towards the end of the book do we learn that today Donovan will be a ring-bearer in the wedding of his two mothers. Search this one out--it's been (erroneously, in my opinion) cataloged as children's fiction instead of with the picture books.
