A delightful tale about self-acceptance and embracing your own uniqueness. "Nobody Likes Monday" is a charming picture book story about the impact of people’s perceptions of ourselves, and the fact that we all have value we just need to learn to see it.

“This is a highly original story that not only takes the reader on a romp through the days of the week with all the activities that can inspire but also encourages some self-reflection on how we perceive ourselves. A valuable addition to any focus on mindfulness, emotional intelligence and positive mental health. ”

“The delightful and humorous illustrations, (Monday wrapped in a towel cleaning her teeth) add greatly to this story. It is a good tool for teaching days of the week and how people perceive them. It also demonstrates how powerful, positive and thankful reinforcements can be. Lots of fun..” “This is a beautifully illustrated picture book that carries the important message of the impact of people’s perceptions of ourselves, and how letting go of negativity can change your life for the better. Nobody Likes Monday is a story about acceptance, and having the confidence to know your worth and believe in yourself.” “This is a fun picture book that would work really well in classrooms as a #mentortext for students to write a persuasive writing task about what their favourite day of the week is and why..” “Using days of the week to portray that others are better than yourself is an empathetic and clever way of showing readers that you are just as good if not better than others.” “While encouraging self-reflection with our own strengths and talents, this book reminds us of the positives in our lives. Further values of kindness are encouraged" “A cute read with a special message” “A positive affirmation of self-worth for young readers.”

“This is a fun and simple way to encourage children to think about their differences and what it is that makes each of them special and unique – as well, of course, as doing all that practice with names of the days and ordering.”

”The text is a joy to read. Through Monday’s journey, children aged 4 -7 learn about the days of the week in a most creative way, are encouraged to see their own talents and to accept that everyone has bad days and good days

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’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. Monday even has a pile of complaint letters to prove that nobody likes her… but wait, what’s in that sparkly envelope?

Nobody Likes Monday is a story about the impact of people’s perceptions of ourselves, and the fact that we all have value; we just need to learn to see it. When Monday is feeling down, she tries to change, but only meets more dissatisfaction. It is only when she begins to see her own strengths and gifts that she finds joy in her role and in her life.

Told with vibrant illustrations and light-hearted humour, Nobody Likes Monday highlights the importance of self-acceptance and individuality. It emphasizes that everyone, no matter how they perceive themselves, has a unique value to offer, gently encouraging children to see beyond the negatives and to recognize their own talents and strengths.
