🌿 Inspiring families to create their own "Very Good Day" adventures! 🌿
Saturday is Adventure Day — when Axel and Alice head outdoors with Dad and Mimzi to discover the small, miraculous world hiding in plain sight. Stories born from real moments of wonder, laughter, and a thousand questions.
A curious brother and sister venture to a shaded creek on Adventure Day, where jars full of shimmery minnows spark big questions about empathy, nature, and what it truly means to care for something wild. A heartwarming story of wonder — with a perfectly funny surprise ending that every child will adore.
Summer is stirring and the fireflies are finally here! With their beloved Treasure Jars and a little imagination, Axel and Alice — with help from Dad and Mimzi — turn a warm evening into something truly magical. A perfect read just before the stars come out.
Every Very Good Day deserves to be remembered. Grab a jar, step outside, and collect whatever calls to you. Smooth stones, feathers, acorns — anything that made today feel wonderful.

Judy Cheryl Brown — also known as Mimzi — is oblivious to age constraints and endlessly in love with the magic hiding in ordinary days.
As a newly minted author, she weaves the wisdom gleaned along the way with boundless imagination and a desire to share the quiet magic hidden in the ordinary. She truly believes dreams are sacred treasures of the heart — meant to be nurtured throughout each and every stage of life.
Judy writes, designs, and illustrates every book herself — bringing the full vision from heart to page. She believes the outdoors holds endless gifts for curious little minds, and that the best bedtime books leave children asking, "Can we go back Saturday?"
A must-read for families looking to share a meaningful and enjoyable reading experience with their children. This book is sure to become a cherished favorite in any child's library.
SUPER sweet!! The story of Alice and Axel's adventure, using their imagination, being encouraged to see the minnows' point of view... love it!!!
This book teaches children the importance of making strong family bonds and developing a healthy respect for nature. I love the colorfully bright artwork that is sure to be captivating for all young readers!
Reminded me of the summers when I was a kid and thought everything would have a nice life in a jar. Everybody has gone through this experience. The way it all went softly — I would definitely read this before vacation!
Every Saturday holds a new adventure. The next book in the Very Good Day series is in the planning stages — another outdoor discovery for curious little minds and the grown-ups who love exploring alongside them.
