Sunday Chutney

Sunday Chutney’s parents move a lot, and as a result she’s always the new kid in school.  Sometimes, it bugs her that she doesn’t get to stay in one place, but her imagination and love of new experiences keeps her sane.  Blabey’s picture book about imagination and self-acceptance is softly illustrated in acrylic and mixed media, and his heroine is quirky and good-natured.  The message of using your imagination to keep yourself company comes across well, and Sunday is a helpful role model for kids who find themselves often transplanted.
