Description
A young boy's simple answers to his mother's inquiries at bedtime introduce the reader to his recollection of his ordinary day. Q: "How are you doing?" A: "Good." Q: "What was your day like?": A: "You know, same old thing." Q: "What did you do today?" A: "Nothing." Far from being 'nothing,' our protagonist takes us on several adventures that walk the line between real and imagined, as we discover that his version of 'nothing' is more of a robust something than anything we or his mom could have imagined.
