Illustrated by
Lauren Castillo.
A little girl who lives in Brooklyn meticulously recounts the events of this--and every--Wednesday, describing routines related to breakfast, school, recreation, and bedtime though her precociousness is unconvincing at times). Textured illustrations, which radiate both the beauty and grit of the urban environment, share with the young narrator a cheerful attention to detail.
