About the design
As a child my parents told me to tear the daily calendar in my house everyday. I remember myself reporting to family what kind of day it was in the old Chinedse divination. For me, the daily calendar was a communication tool between adults and me.
Each page of this calendar is designed by 365 people. It must be enjoyable.
