Wednesday Is for Wiggling! — Eva Wong Nava

One child's week holds something special every day in this sweet, upbeat story with extra appeal for diverse families of all kinds. Whether it's tiptoeing in dance class with her babysitter on Tuesday, scooting around the canal with Daddy on Sunday, or enjoying a Friday playdate with a friend, the little girl in this book has something to look forward to every day of the week. Saturday is for visiting the vegetables at Grandpa's community garden, then eating rainbow chaofan and making paper cranes with Gramma. Wednesday is Mama's day off, meaning plenty of time for getting wiggly together -- and baking and reading and cuddling! In a story especially resonant for diverse families and those in which parents live separately, a certain child's enthusiasm will inspire readers to think about the joys they can bring to each day.
