Reach for this book when the relentless countdown to a birthday has begun and your child is practically vibrating with anticipation. It is the perfect tool for those weeks when the question When is my birthday? becomes a daily or even hourly mantra in your household. Rather than trying to quiet the excitement, this story leans into it, capturing the breathless and slightly scattered energy of a child imagining their perfect day. The book follows a young girl as she dreams up every detail of her celebration, from the guests and the cake to the specific gifts like a pony, a necklace, or even a chicken. With rhythmic, staccato text that mimics the way children actually talk, it validates the intense longing and joy that comes with growing another year older. It is a wonderful choice for ages 2 to 6, serving as both a joyful celebration and a subtle lesson in the concept of time and the sweet agony of waiting for a special moment.
