Every Friday by Dan Yaccarino

Every Friday by Dan Yaccarino, Henry Holt and Co., 2007, ISBN 978-0-8050-7724-7
The author's note in the front of the book says it all: "Every Friday, my son, Michael, and I have breakfast together at the corner diner. Since he turned three, this has been our special time together and our favorite day of the week. I hope that you, too, will start a tradition like ours."
On one page he writes: "Everyone is rushing, but we're taking out time." A good reminder to us all, to slow down and appreciate the routine, everyday things that we take for granted, but which can vanish in the blink of an eye. Thank you Dan, for the reminder.
