Nobody Likes Monday

“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"
-Blue Wolf Reviews

“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.”
In The Good Books

- School Days Magazine

" 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.
- Midwest Book Review
“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 Bottom Shelf 
“It’s such a great message to look for the positives in things. It’s a great fun book with deeper meaning to explore with older kids.”  
-Middle Grade Mavens podcast  
“My kids really enjoyed seeing the days of the week turned into characters. They laughed at the stereotypes that were presented and also felt an emotional connection to Monday.  This narrative has the beautiful message that we need to realise our own strengths and gifts to find the joy in our lives.”
-Get Kids Booked (via Instagram)  
“Kelly Lee’s quirky story brings to life the days of the week to gently impress upon readers aged four to eight that their sense of self should come from within, not from what others think of them. Monday tries to be something she’s not, which detracts from the wonderful things she is: a day of new beginnings, and a day of special moments. As kids giggle at the amusing scenarios, they will find the strength to turn away from negativity and embrace positivity.”
- Buzz Words Magazine  
“A positive affirmation of self-worth for young readers.”
