It's a No-Money Day Summary

It's a No-Money Day by Kate Milner

Mum works really hard, but today there is no money left and no food in the cupboards. Forced to visit the local foodbank, Mum feels ashamed that they have to rely on the kindness of others, but her young daughter can still see all the good in her day like reading and drawing, and even the foodbank. Maybe one day things will be different but for now together they brighten up even the darkest of days. A moving insight into the sad rise and necessity of foodbanks from the perspective of society's most vulnerable, and an essential book to help develop empathy in younger readers.

It's a No-Money Day Reviews

The one to read ... the illustrations ache with grace, melancholy and unexpected happiness -- New Statesman
An outstanding book ... full of hope for a brighter future -- BookTrust
Milner has certainly lived up to her laurels with this delicate and subtle picture book, which packs a real emotional and political punch -- LoveReading4kids
Shines with positivity and articulates with dignity an experience which many children have, but which is rarely portrayed in books ... a poignant and empathetic storybook that shines a light on a subject that should concern us all. Unmissable -- Just Imagine
A deceptively simple yet powerful book ... The relationship between mother and child is outstandingly portrayed, their love for each other palpable throughout -- Kate Greenaway Medal Judges 2021

Milner's illustrations are layered and delicate with soft colours, and a powerful scene at the food bank shows how the entire fabric of society has been affected by economic recession. A sensitive yet hopeful depiction of a family living in poverty -- CBI
