About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is seeking reassurance through rhythm or struggling with the concept of waiting for a special event. It is a perfect choice for children who find comfort in the small, beautiful repetitions of a predictable week spent with a loved one. The story follows Mabel as she navigates the six days leading up to her favorite day: Monday, when she spends dedicated time with her father. It beautifully validates the 'waiting' days of a child's life, turning an ordinary week into a countdown of love and shared interests. This gentle narrative is ideal for ages 4 to 8, modeling how to find joy in the present while looking forward to the future. It highlights the importance of simple traditions, like visiting a bookstore or a library, and underscores the strength of the father-daughter bond. Parents will appreciate how it frames routine not as a chore, but as a scaffold for security and emotional connection.

Ideal Reader
A 6-year-old who thrives on schedules or perhaps a child who experiences slight anxiety during transitions. It is perfect for a child whose primary love language is quality time and who finds safety in knowing exactly what happens next.
