For any parents out there who don’t know what “Yes Day” is, take note. Yes Day is a family holiday that is derived from the children’s book of the same name by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. In the book, the fictitious day requires parents to say “yes” to any of their children’s wild requests, no matter how improbable or silly they may be. In Jennifer Garner’s case, she participated in Yes Day with her children by spending the night in the great outdoors at their request. As Garner shared on Instagram in 2017, she and her kids slept outside in a tent. She had already been participating in the holiday for five years at that point, and this exact Instagram post is what ignited a Netflix movie deal based on the children’s book, with Garner as the film’s lead. In an interview with Vogue, the “Dallas Buyers Club” actor explained her family’s tradition with the holiday.
She told the magazine, “I started reading [Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s Yes Day!] when my middle daughter was three years old, and she just became fixated on the idea of a yes day, so, I started doing yes days with the three of them.” Garner added, “For my family, it ends with us sleeping in the backyard in a tent — we have s’mores, we have a pool so we’ll go for a late-night swim, and we’ll play flashlight tag until way later than I would usually let them.”
