Gentle, delightful, refreshing . . . One Spring Day is all of this and more. It is factual, developmentally sound, and inspiring as children ages 3-5 discover the wonder and wisdom of God through what He created. When grass begins to green and leaves appear on trees, when flowers push through the earth and chipmunks scamper about, when birds begin their mating moves and birdsong fills the air, the whole earth seems to rejoice and be filled with new life. Spring has come and with it, a whole new world of things to learn and discover. This first book in the "Knowing God" series is an introduction to spring, to wonderfully ordinary creatures found in most back yards, creatures both great and small, and to the extraordinary things they do. But best of all, it is an introduction to the understanding that God created all things, and that His creation tells us things we can know about Him: that He is good, that He loves and cares for all His creation, that He is beautiful and delights in what He created. In One Spring Day, we see many creatures, and observe the unique things they do, but we get to meet and follow, through word and original photographs, Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal, and Lovey and Dovey, two mourning doves, as they scout out a place to build their nest, fly back and forth watching for predators, and searching for the right material for their nest, We discover the unique way Dovey passes the twigs and branches to Lovey, which one actually builds the nest, finds the food and sits on the eggs. As they hatch out and grow into beautiful young doves, they eventually fly away, but Lovey and Dovey remain as the sun sinks behind the mountain bidding a glowing Good Night to One Spring Day.

Lorraine is a Metis girl in Alberta who wanders around the farm and finds all kinds of new life is beginning. The storyteller and memory keeper is Verna Courtrille, a Métis woman with a Bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Alberta. From her descriptions stories were built so she could share her experiences when she lived with her grandmother in central Alberta. When Verna was very young her grandfather became ill. When her parents separated Verna’s grandmother played a crucial role in Verna’s upbringing. While the content of the story is based on real life memories, the characters, context and images are fictional representations. The important values Verna wishes to pass on to the next generation are: observing the natural environment; maintaining good relations with family and nature; working together to get a job done; listening to elders and remembering to be grateful when nature provides nourishment.
