Anjulie's Worst Day Ever
by
Michal Regev
Anjulie is so excited to go for a picnic with her cousins and spend a fun day by the lake with her family. Tomorrow can’t come fast enough. But when Anjulie wakes up to a thunderstorm, the picnic by the lake is cancelled! No pretty flowers. No playing ball with her cousins. No fun. It’s going to be the worst day ever! There’s nothing Mom or Dad can say to make her feel better about the day being ruined. Anjulie is ready to spend a boring day inside with her dog, Mocha. That is, until she looks out the window and sees three sheep grazing in the meadow nearby. The poor sheep must be so cold and wet from the storm, so why not invite them inside to warm up? Maybe Anjulie’s day won’t be so bad after all. Anjulie’s Worst Day Ever invites children and parents to explore ways to manage big emotions and overcome disappointment. With a thoughtful narrative and a dose of comedy, the story encourages empathy and imagination to turn a bad day around.
A charming story about a girl who finds a way to turn what started as her "worst day ever", into a fun, exciting day, with some help from special friends. Dr. Michal Regev and Shimon Vexler are a married couple living in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. This is their first children's book. The inspiration for this book came from their frequent visits to Pender Island, B.C., where they work and relax together and where Michal noticed sheep grazing in the meadow on a stormy day.
Dr. Michal Regev is a psychologist and family therapist, as well as a mother and grandmother, all of which have helped her to identify common challenges for children and parents alike. Her hope is that Anjulie’s story will spark a conversation between children and parents about disappointments being a part of life, as well as how to overcome them. Dr. Regev lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, with her husband, Shimon Vexler, who provided the illustrations for her book. For more information, visit drregev.com.
