EVERY MONDAY MABEL written and illustrated by Jashar Awan

Writer-illustrator Jashar Awan won a well-deserved Caldecott-Honor award for EVERY MONDAY MABEL, the kind of book I most love to see lauded. It’s simple in both writing and illustration and yet the two work together so beautifully that it brings to life a whole family, most of all Mabel who waits for the highlight of her week—the arrival of the garbage truck. There is a lovely build up of excitement which is fully rewarded with multiple spreads of truck’s arrival and Mabel’s thrill and the garbage truck’s necessary departure to entertain other children.
