"The hardest part of going to work is being apart from you.
Let's count the days until we're both at home
with a special thing to do."
I recently attended a reading and signing with Arthur A. Levine. What a lovely opportunity to hear him read his own work.
In Monday is One Day, your totz will find solace in celebrating the small moments with loved ones each day. Yes, daycare, work, and school may separate us, but looking forward to being together eases the situation. The beautiful rhyme and rhythm in the text will have you quickly repeating the lines together.
The sharp, fun imagery and color palette by Julian Hector remind me of the beloved Curious George. How can that not echo comfort?
Enjoy Monday is One Day with your totz this Poetry Friday!
