That Always Happens Sometimes by Kiley Frank, illustrated by K-Fai Steele

The day in the life of a kiddo who wants to be seen, wants to be good, but sometimes things just get away from him. Noises and squirrels distract. So do erasers, and markers, and pencil sharpeners. Packing stuff to take home is completely forgotten because of the excitement of going home. Getting ready for school check-lists aren't always check, check, checked. Busses are missed. But solving problems, thinking of new ways to do things, making friends, those are all part of the day too!
