We love seeing our books reviewed and talked about just about anywhere. Be sure to check out the little blurb about Monday Is Wash Day in World Magazine.

Fabulous collages made of paper cutouts illustrate MaryAnn Sundby’s Monday Is Wash Day (Ripple Grove Press, 2016), a simple turn-of-the-20th-century story about laundry. It begins, “Rain or shine, Monday is wash day.” Two sisters can’t play until the laundry is done. They help their mother gather dirty clothes, carry water to the porch, fill the open-topped wringer washer with hot water, and load the clothes according to color, washing whites first. The girls help with every step: emptying the rinse buckets on plants in the garden, hanging wet clothes on the line, and gathering the dry. Then, “We go outside and play.”
