Description
Today would be special. Today would be splendid. It was Saturday! But sometimes, the best plans don’t work out exactly the way you expect….
In this heartfelt and universal story, a mother and daughter look forward to their special Saturday routine together every single week. But this Saturday, one thing after another goes wrong–ruining storytime, salon time, picnic time, and the puppet show they’d been looking forward to going to all week. Mom is nearing a meltdown…until her loving daughter reminds her that being together is the most important thing of all.
Author-artist Oge Mora’s highly anticipated follow up to Caldecott Honor Thank You, Omu! features the same magnificently radiant artwork and celebration of sharing so beloved in her debut picture book.
* “How wonderful: a book with both racial diversity and class diversity that feels authentic. Special and splendid.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review* “The family handles the stress of dashed expectations in a way that acknowledges disappointment while conveying the buoyancy of resilience and the joy of their bond. And a delightful coda may inspire readers to share the inventive way they salvage their day.“—Publishers Weekly, starred review* “The simple yet heartfelt story tugs at the emotions, but it’s the paper collage artwork that really packs a punch. Created with acrylic paints, china markers, patterned paper, and print clippings, the bright illustrations are inventively conceived and full of motion-just the right vehicle for bringing this Black mother-daughter duo to vibrant life.”—Booklist, starred review“In this picture book gem from the award-winning Oge Mora, a girl and her mother anticipate Saturdays as their weekly opportunity to go on their own private adventures–big and small.”—Shelf Awareness“This one is as much for parents as it is for kids.”—Parents Magazine“Energetic cut-paper collages depict the pair navigating a colorful, bustling city in this splendidly crafted tale of meeting life’s challenges.”—Horn Book
