“The Blues Day Tuesday is the perfect book for beginning readers, who are ready to move on to ‘chapter books’ and read independently. With its themes of kindness, friendship and inclusivity, it’s also an ideal ‘shared read’ for children aged 4–7 years with their parent or teacher as it is sure to inspire deeper conversations, reflections, problem-solving and personal connections.”
“My 7 year old really enjoyed this book. It is an easy reader book that is well illustrated and written. It captures the essence of experiencing the blues. I love that it promotes kindness, loyalty and friendship whilst instilling values of inclusion, compassion and empathy. This book has become a wonderful addition to our library!”
“This is a really relatable story. Lots of kids have felt left out when they come back to school after being away for a while, and the book gives you some great ideas on how to deal with that situation. It’s also got great characters. Amanda is super smart and she isn’t afraid to tell her friends her feelings. She’s brave and stands up for herself.”
“Amanda Commander – the Blues-day Tuesday is the newest in the popular, Amanda Commander series. In these books, author Vass presents characters that are loyal, kind and caring and who work collaboratively to untangle difficult situations through thoughtful consideration of the situations and seeking trustworthy advice. In this way, Vass provides a subtle blueprint of guidance for primary school aged children to navigate through the ups-and-downs of everyday life.”
“A great read for all children in lower primary grade aged, readers 7-10 will relate to the situations the girls find themselves in”.
