Children’s Book Review: Monday is One Day

The children’s book Monday is One Day by author Arthur A. Levine and published by Scholastic is a fantastic story told from the perspective of a father to his son. Like many fathers, this father has to leave his son every day to go to work. The book takes a difficult subject for most working parents and breaks it down into a simple yet touching story.  I was touched almost immediately just reading the description because I’ve felt the very same feelings the author must have felt when writing the book.  I felt that hole in the pit of my stomach every day that I spent apart from my son.  I longed for the next time I would see my son again when I was away from him; I’m so glad an author was able to put those feelings to words so eloquently.  Monday is One Daymakes for an excellent bed time story – especially for parents that are apart from their children during the day.

About the Book Monday is One Day

The book is a love note written from a working father to his young son.  One by one, the days of the week roll by. Monday is one day, Tuesday is blue shoes day, and Wednesday is halfway day.

One by one, the days of the week roll by. Monday is one day, Tuesday is blue shoes day, and Wednesday is halfway day.

With monster roars and splashy puddles, with crazy ties and hugs, kids and parents count the perfect small moments of their weekday time together, looking forward to the weekend, when the days will be all theirs.

That’s pretty much the recipe for a great children’s book.”]
