Bookroo's summary

Peter, tired of boredom, decides to celebrate a new holiday every day, rating each on a scale. But when he finds no holiday to celebrate, he must invent his own. As his plans falter, Peter discovers the joy in ordinary days. Can he find magic in the mundane?

From the publisher

Even the regular, average, ordinary days can be celebrated with this charming picture book!

Peter does not like being bored, so he comes up with a way to have some festive fun–he’ll celebrate a different holiday each day! He even rates them on a scale of 1 to 10. But when he wakes up one morning to discover there isn’t any holiday, he realizes he’ll have to take matters into his own hands and make up his own! That’s easier said than done, though, and nothing seems to go right–until Peter realizes that even a regular, average, ordinary day can be something worth celebrating.
