Junya thinks Wednesdays are the best days, because that is when the garbage trucks come. A sweet and whimsical story from a child’s perspective about the busy world outside his window.

Junya loves to sit at his window and watch the goings-on in Rajah Street. He watches the clouds passing overhead, kookaburras singing, and skateboarders zipping by. Today, he is waiting for Wednesday. Wednesday is when the garbage trucks come, and garbage trucks are his favourite.

Imaginative illustrations help capture the world through a three-year-old’s perspective in this quirky slice-of-life story.
