Krouse, A, & Lichtenheld, T. (2009). //Yes day!// San Francisco: Chronicle Books Llc.

Do you ever feel like all your days are “No days?” Join this young boy for his favorite day, “Yes Day!” Yes Day is a day when the “no” goes unheard. If you want pizza for breakfast, you get it. If you want a piggyback ride, you jump on. If you want a banana split with pickles, dig in! This book is a good reminder to parents, grandparents, and caregivers that kids need fun and other answers than NO.
