With Ava’s mother working hard from Sunday to Friday, Saturdays are the best day of the entire week. Saturday means storytime at the library, lounging in salon chairs, and picnics at the park. And this Saturday is even more special, because Ava and her mom are going to a one-night-only puppet show!

However, when storytime is canceled and their new hairdos are ruined the second they step out of the salon, their splendid, special, wonderful Saturday looks like it’s going to be ruined. Will anything be able to turn this day around? Your young readers will be touched as Ava and her mother spend a less-than-perfect Saturday together and still manage to have a great time just because they get to spend it together.
