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.
