description: Changes and separations in a young childs life are less worrisome with the help of playful rituals in this sweet reassuring picture book.Everything is an adventure when Orlando and his mommy spend the day drawing a picture taking a walk even having a snack. Then comes Thursday the day Mami has to be busy in town. Remembering this makes Orlando sad until Papi reminds him about all the super super things that can happen when theyre together on a Thursday! Emma Magentas gently quirky narrative and fresh charmingly nave illustrations evoke a true toddler sensibility while weaving a cocoon of love and security around young Orlando in a story as comforting as a mug of warm frothy milk.
