Monday...couldn't be better!
A Fairy Tale for Children Young and Old
Jason hates Mondays. So his grandfather decides to make up a fairy tale about it.
A fairy tale that takes shape right there and then, through their conversation. Jason asks questions, reacts, interrupts - and the story keeps going in directions that even Grandpa himself hadn’t seen coming.
The seven days take on human form, each with a character and a voice of their own. And as the fairy tale unfolds, it takes some unexpected turns - among them, rather surprisingly, an encounter with God, a phone call from faraway Australia, and an unexpected visitor...
And somewhere along the way, Jason begins to wonder if what matters is not the day itself, but the today within it.
Seven days. One life.
Behind the adventure of the seven days lie questions that have no age.
What do we do with the today we are given?
How much room do we leave for our dreams?
How much does the way others see us shape who we are?
Can we love who we are?
The fairy tale doesn’t try to give ready-made answers.
It lets the seven days tell their story.
And leaves each of us to hear our own.
From the fairy tale
“You have - all of us have - one day at a time. Every day gives us a new today. No matter which Day it is, we still only have one TODAY.”
“Aim for everything, and settle for nothing less. Our dreams give us life. Never compromise them or make them smaller because of what someone else tells you. After all, a dream may not come true - but it may. Who can possibly calculate the odds with absolute certainty?”
“What had changed... was Monday. And now she understood. Deeply, completely, with her whole being. The acceptance and love she felt for herself belonged to her alone. They come from within her.”
For Children Young and Old
A child can follow Jason and the seven days on their adventure.
A teenager may find within the story the dreams they are just beginning to discover.
An adult may recognize the dreams they are still chasing - or the ones they once put aside.
And someone older may find something they thought they had forgotten - or a desire for something they still want to live.
The story remains the same.
The mirror changes with us.
