The lyrics to folkie (and former Del Fuegos frontman) Zanes's cheerful children's tune are illustrated with images of kids and well-dressed animals enjoying what the day brings: a giant banjo-playing butterfly, a ride on a seaworthy umbrella, etc. The fantastical mixed-media illustrations have a mural-like quality. The book comes with a CD containing five songs (including "Hello Hello"); musical notation is provided.
