About The Book

Every single day of every single year,a precious child is born to cherish and to cheer.
With hope-filled hearts we marvel at them all -
the brave, the quiet, the loud and the small.

In this delightful twist on the classic nursery rhyme, Monday's Child, Emma Bowd and Hilary Jean Tapper weave a universal love letter to children, celebrating their unique qualities and the special light they bring to our lives.
