Today We Have No Plans Book

Today We Have No Plans is a poetic and beautifully illustrated picture book that captures the joy of slowing down. Throughout the week, the family rushes between commitments and routines-but on Sunday, they pause, reconnect, and embrace the luxury of unstructured time. The rhyming text flows gently, mirroring the calming effect of the family's restful day, while soft, tranquil illustrations support the book's peaceful tone. Children learn the value of balance between activity and rest, and the story promotes mindfulness, family connection, and an appreciation for quiet moments. The book also familiarises young readers with the days of the week and sequencing. This is a perfect addition to any classroom or home library to open discussions about wellbeing, routines, and enjoying the simple things in life.
