Personal Development

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.

Its pretty tough being Monday – youre not named after a god like Thursday, and youre certainly not a two-day party like Saturday and Sunday. Instead, youre 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, whats in that sparkly envelope?

Nobody Likes Monday is a story about the impact of peoples 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
