At the end of the day, some of your family may feel exhausted, or moody, but it's the beginning of homework, lessons, and chores. Sometimes there is disappointment, a missing puzzle piece, or a family member is away. But there are also things that make everyone laugh, or things that feel good like bicycle rides, freshly baked bread, stories, or wishing upon a star. What do you like at the end of the day?
At the End of the Day tells a humorous relatable narrative of all the things left to do before a family can go to sleep. Bontigao's illustrations are cute, funny, and create extra layers to the story.
The story depicts a bi-racial family.
