[Haskell-beginners] Simple data type for dates?

I've looked at Data.Time, but I'm not seeing examples. I'd like to figure
out how to simply have use of similar to this:

type MyMonth = String
type MyDay = String
type MyYear = String
data MyDate = MyDate MyMonth MyDay MyYear deriving Show

storeDate :: MyDate
storeDate = "June" "29" "2021"

which will be in a bigger data structure I'm building. I can't believe this
isn't reinventing some long-established wheel. Is there such a type ready
to use?
