PS
Ava and her mother spend Saturdays together, but a series of misadventures derails their perfectly planned day. Mom tries to make the best of things, repeating the refrain: "Today will be special. Today will be splendid. Today is SATURDAY!" But when even Mom reaches her limit, Ava steps up. Mora's (Thank You, Omu!) gorgeous cut-paper and collage illustrations depict a colorful, bustling city. This simple, well-crafted tale holds universal lessons for children and adults alike.
