"Fandom comes in many forms. Every Monday, Mabel grabs a bowl of cereal and drags a chair out the front door and onto her family’s driveway. Her family members either think she’s weird, or adorable, or funny, but Mabel doesn’t care. She loves what she loves … and what she loves is the arrival of the garbage truck! “Gah-dump!” Bold colors and simple shapes give Mabel’s passion the kind of respect that she doesn’t get from her own family members. Best of all, Jashar Awan rounds out the story by showing that she’s not alone. All around town there are people who adore Mondays for the exact same reason. A stirring ode to embracing whatever it is that makes you cheer! (For ages 4 to 8)"
