About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is beginning to notice the joy of shared celebrations or when you want to build their anticipation for a special event like a birthday. It serves as a gentle introduction to the concepts of preparation, keeping a secret, and the warmth of friendship. The tactile elements and sparkling glitter engage sensory-seeking children while providing a calming, repetitive structure to their reading routine. The story invites little ones into a whimsical world where fairies collaborate to surprise their friend Jasmine. Beyond the magic and shimmer, it emphasizes the importance of doing something kind for others. The sturdy board pages and lift-the-flap surprises make it an ideal choice for developing fine motor skills and encouraging active participation in the storytelling process. It is a sweet, low-stakes narrative that celebrates community and the simple happiness found in a party.
