Brand-New Beginning: A New Day by Brad Meltzer
The Week has an employee problem. Sunday is on strike! The quiet girl who has long held the job of being Sunday has quit! The other days of the Week are distraught! How can you begin the week (or end it, depending on your point of view) without a Sunday? To be a proper week there must be seven days on deck at all times. But Sunday has submitted an official resignation. She complains that she is not being properly appreciated for the conscientious way she has done her job.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WORK IT TAKES TO GIVE THE WORLD A BEAUTIFUL, FREE DAY... TO PLAY, TO PRAY, TO SLEEP AWAY... TO EAT RASPBERRY SORBET?"
Everyone else gets their free day and nobody cares if she's doing okay!
THE OTHERS ARE AGHAST!
The other Days put up HELP WANTED posters right away!
WANTED!
NEW DAY!
Must Be Tranquil!
The applicants have some unusual suggestions to replace the ordinary old Sunday: BUNDAY, FUNDAY, DOGDAY (EVERYONE gets a puppy!), CATURDAY (for those who prefer cats), WORSTVICE-PRESIDENTDAY (suggested by Elbridge Gerry), and (Yikes!) BIGBURPDAY!
Think it can't get worse? How about KNIGHTSWHOSWORDSAREHERRINGSDAY? Or MYDOGSMELLSLIKECORNCHIPSDAY!
And then a wee girl appears with a tiny potted plant she's grown for Sunday!
"I GREW THIS ONE FOR YOU... TO SAY THANKS!" SHE LISPS.
And a little appreciation is the big game-changer, in Brad Meltzer's just published A New Day (Dial Books, 2021). With the quirky and vivid over-the-top illustrations of award-winning artist Dan Santat to keep the inspired absurdity going, this new one by the team of Meltzer and Santat looks like a hit. For preschoolers just learning the days of the week to sophisticated primary graders who can't get enough of this pair's clever wackiness, this one succeeds in making the point that all of us need to know that we are appreciated!
"It’s a lovely and apt way to tie a bow on all the preceding silliness, with enough room left over to end on a cat joke!" says Publisher's Weekly.
By the way, Dan Santat is the author-illustration of the Caldecott Award winner, The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend (Read my review here.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

Hello folks, I want to share my story of how I met Dr Amber who helped me win the lottery. Before I met him, life was hard for me. I love playing the lottery but I lost all my money to it. I became suicidal because I owe the bank lots of money. So, I went on the internet about how I can win the lottery and I got good advocacy about Dr Amber and his work. I got in touch with him and I told him what I’ve been through and he assured me that he will help me. I was a bit scared but I said ok. Dr Amber made a spell for me that cost me some money to get it done and I was given some accurate digits by him to play the lottery on my next game which I did as instructed by him. I was astonished when I got announced as the winner of $109 million dollars on the Mega Millions Lottery I played. I am grateful to Dr Amber for Indeed, he deserves the hype he gets from people. You can email him or visit his webpage on how to get yours done. Email: amberlottotemple@gmail.com or visit: amberlottotemple.com
