Dive into the imaginative world of Mac, a young boy who sees school as a monstrous challenge! "Monsters of Mondays" is a heartwarming story that explores the anxieties of starting school and the power of friendship in overcoming fear. Join Mac on his journey as he learns that monsters aren't always what they seem and that Mondays can be filled with joy.
The Monster of Mondays growled at him every morning, its voice booming, "Get up Mac!" It only seemed to growl after the weekend, when Mac was the most reluctant to leave the house.
At recess, the monster's roar was the noise of the playground; the shouts of the children and the sound of the ball hitting the floor. It was too loud, too busy, too much for Mac.
Inside the classroom, the monster's claws were the pencils scratching on paper and the ticking clock became the monster's eyes. Each tick of the clock reminded Mac of how long the day would last.
At lunch, Mac wanted to run away. He felt trapped, but then he felt something – a gentle touch on his arm. It was a girl who asked, "What's wrong, Mac?"

MY IDEA: My story is going to explore the fear of school and how imagination can make everyday things seem scary or overwhelming. And how some young kids suffer the consequences of having wild imagination, such as missing out on forming connections with others or just simplify affecting their way of life. My children’s book “Monsters of Mondays” is a metaphor for the anxiety and dread that children often feel when it comes to going to school. As school can be a daunting and scary place for some kids. The core of my story is about Mac understanding his fears of disliking school as he views it as a monster. Changing the perspective of the story will be a big factor as in the story Mac will change his view of school, seeing that school is not in fact a monster. But it will start as Mac seeing school and the kids inside as monsters. Mac will also build resilience as he learns that school is not a monster and that he can go to school on Mondays without being in fear. The story is going to be made for kids starting school meaning the 5-8 age group, even though it is aimed at young kids it will still have a powerful message. Hopefully it will help parents with kids worried about starting school, new routines and being away from them. The story also encourages curiosity, courage and optimism. this is my book TITLE: Monsters of Monday Script: Page 1 Mac hated Mondays, Mondays meant school Mondays meant the fun of the weekend was done Page 2 In Mac’s mind school wasn’t a building, it was a MONSTER !
