Overview
One Today is a picture book featuring a lyrical inaugural poem by Richard Blanco and illustrations by #1 bestselling Caldecott Honor artist Dav Pilkey -- now with a new cover!
President Barack Obama invited Richard Blanco to write a poem to share at his second presidential inauguration. That poem is One Today, a lush and lyrical, patriotic commemoration of America from dawn to dusk and from coast to coast. Brought to life by beloved, award-winning artist Dav Pilkey, One Today is a beautiful example of how poetry can speak to young readers. Richard Blanco's poem and Dav Pilkey's illuminating artwork span the country, honoring its rich diversity while also pointing to the shared values and hopes that connect us.
"Richard's writing will be wonderfully fitting for an Inaugural that will celebrate the strength of the American people and our nation's great diversity." -- President Barack Obama
