About The Book
Every Monday, Mabel wakes up early and peeks out her window to make sure she didn’t miss the one thing she’s been looking forward to the whole week. She drags her chair down the hallway, past her big sister and Mom and Dad, out the door, and waits.
What is Mabel waiting for every Monday? According to Mabel, it’s the best thing in the world. But no one else in her family seems to understand…until they see what’s honking down the street!
About The Illustrator
Growing up outside of Washington, DC, Jashar Awan loved drawing and reading. In fact, he still does. For many years, he drew illustrations for publications such as The New Yorker, The New York Times, American Medical News, and Columbia Journalism Review. Jashar made his debut as an author-illustrator with What a Lucky Day!. Publishers Weekly spotlighted him as one of the most promising children’s debut authors of fall 2020. His book Only Ants for Andy was selected for the 2023 and 2024 Choose to Read Ohio booklist. Jashar is also the creator of Strum & Drum: A Merry Little Quest, I’m Going to Build a Snowman, and Every Monday Mabel. He lives in Ohio with his wife, Emily, and their son, Maxwell, who loves drawing and reading, too.
Why We Love It
“Just like in I’m Going to Build a Snowman, author-illustrator Jashar Awan again perfectly captures what it feels like to be a kid in Every Monday Mabel. There’s joy on every page here and Mabel’s excitement for Mondays is so infectious that you'll find yourself looking forward to every Monday, too.”
—Celia L. Executive Editor, on Every Monday Mabel
