Sunday Chutney is an eccentric, confident, honest girl who shares in this picture book what it is like to be frequently moving and starting new schools because of her dad's job. She offers pros and cons (pro--living overseas is fabulous and exotic, con-- always being the new weird kid in school), her likes and dislikes, and other amusing information about herself.

This is Sunday Chutney, a little girl with a big smile and an even bigger imagination, and she’s a bit unusual. She’s lived all over the world, which is mostly great. The only downside is that she’s always the new kid at school. But that’s ok, because Sunday doesn’t care (or does she?), because she has a vivid imagination and quite a few hobbies, from drumming to marine biology. Although it can be lonely moving around so much, Sunday has become an expert at making friends with girls, but not boy...more
this is a fun book about a girl who’s always the new girl. her parents are always moving from place to place so she’s been all over the world and has seen many things.. but as a result she doesn’t have any friends and is always ‘the new girl’ in school. despite this however, sunday has a really bright outlook on life. right after she says something depressing she bouces back with something funny or quirky. she has an amazing imagination and is not afraid to use it. for most of the book her imagi...more
Reminiscent of Eloise or Olivia in her moxie and resourcefulness (and in the book’s imagination-engaging illustrations), Sunday Chutney is a grade-school girl whose family moves frequently because of her dad’s occupation. As she shares her likes and dislikes, and reflects on always being the new girl in school, Sunday reveals a little anxiety and vulnerability, but readers are assured that her self-confidence will get her through every new situation. A funny, positive story of resilience for 4-8...more
"I'm Sunday Chutney...and I'm a bit unusual" Sunday Chutney is not your average little girl. She travels around the globe, starts new schools every so often and always is fabulous! She has the imagiganation of einenstien. Sunday loves travelling in style but sometimess she just wishes she could have one home. This astonoshing, beautifully written/ illustrated book by Aaron Blabey is seriously a must read for any 'fabulous' pearson!

Didn't really like this CBC nominated 2009 picture book. Didn't like the pictures very much, especially those of the main character Sunday Chutney - something to do with the mouth I think. Also, didn't like some of the choice of words to tell the story of Sunday, who is always on the move with her family and has to change school often. Some of the sentences were a bit out of character - like her comments about "the benefits of a big breakfast". Would she really have said that? Worthy message tho...more
In this book a little girl named Sunday Chutney is one of a kind. She is her own person and has the world wrapped around her besides one thing. She has to constantly get up and move, so she is always the new girl in the classroom or around town and can never make any friends that she can keep for good. This book can be related to many students in thie world, so I think that it is a great book to make into a lesson within the classroom.

I wanted to like this book. I expected to like this book. I'd enjoyed the beautiful warm feel of Blabey's first book. This has the same feel, but is rather more along the geeky scale, than the warm fuzzy scale. Sunday Chutney has parents who are always on the move, so she is always the new kid turning up at school, and she has developed some strategies to deal with that. She does have an imaginative view, but it's a bit too Deliberately Quirky.
I enjoyed Sunday Chutney. She is a bright child but isolated due to the family moving frequently and has a wonderful, rich imaginary life. I liked the quirky illustrations and the funny comments - the kind of things kids say when they are parrotting things Mum and Dad have said to them.
I particularly liked the way Sunday went up to children in the playground to make friends - a nice message to kids on how to meet new people.

Sunday Chutney is a spunky little girl. She reminds me of Clementine and Pippi. I love her imagination (mad tea party and her animal friends).
Sunday Chutney is always the new girl at school. The wonderful thing about Sunday Chutney is she doesn't care what the other kids think about her.
What I thought: A delightful book that will be a must read for any new kid at school. Sunday reminds me of several other characters (Clementine and Pippi to name two). She's spunky and happy despite all the movi...more

Sunday Chutney is different. She doesn't like having to change schools all the time, but it does mean that she gets to travel! Which is fabulous! She is good at making friends with girls, but, "if you ask me, boys smell, have germs, and probably love me."
Rock on, Sunday Chutney.

Sunday Chutney is about a girl called Sunday who never stays in the same place, she travels all around the world because of her dad's job. But what Sunday wants is to stay in the same home. Or a Monster Truck, it depends

I love the optimism it spreads. Yet, the truth is, not knowing why, I feel she is lucky enough to have parents around wherever she goes, while many kids are left alone, or with one parent, or with grandparents, or at boarding schools.
it is a good book to read about friend ship and how people move and if you thinnk boys are smelly you enjoy it
Cute book about moving around a lot and adjusting to new places.
Fantastic character who celebrates individuality!
I think that this book is very useful if you feel alone.
Very authentic facial expressions!
About a little girl who moves a lot and is afraid of nothing... except maybe making new friends. But Sunday is an awesome little girl, and friends are inevitable.

not sure what i think of it
Another cute girl book!
A little weird, but I think that's the point. Go message of liking who you are and being okay with being different.
