The Day We
Found Yesterday
A picture book that bridges generations with stories, songs, and a little retro magic.
What if the greatest treasure isn’t something you find, but something you share?
When Eileen and her brothers discover an old clue from their grandparents’ past, they set off on a playful adventure to find what’s missing. Along the way, they uncover stories, laughter, and music that bring their family’s memories to life.
The Day We Found Yesterday is a vibrant, intergenerational story that celebrates connection, creativity, and the power of the past to shape our present. Written for children ages 6–8 and their GenX grandparents, it’s a joyful read-aloud that invites conversation—and a few rounds of “name that tune.”
