It’s pretty tough being Monday – you’re not named after a god like Thursday, and you’re certainly not a two-day party like Saturday and Sunday. Instead, you’re the start of the week, when people have to wake up early and head back to school and work.
Nobody likes Monday – and she has the letters of complaint to prove it. But wait, what’s in that sparkly envelope? Nobody Likes Monday uses humour and vibrant illustrations to tell a story that encourages self-acceptance and embracing our differences. It aims to show that we all have value, despite how we may see ourselves. Everybody has negatives in their lives, but when we take a moment to consider our own gifts and talents, it becomes clear that we all have positives too.
In a world where the days of the week come to life, Monday learns to let go of negativity and accept herself for who she is. It is only when she begins to see her own strengths and gifts that she finds joy in her role and in her life.
