Unwrapping the Story
This delightful story is about a little girl named Harriet who wakes up on the day of her birthday and discovers that none of her friends have remembered her special day. It upsets her to think that they have forgotten but she is determined to make her day a happy one.
"I'm going to make my own birthday lunch," she said to herself grumpily "I suppose if you want something done then you have to do it yourself."
She bikes to the store and purchases some nice things for her lunch and a cake for one then hurries off home. On the way she passes her friends who seem overly busy and don't even say happy birthday or want to chat to her which makes her even more grumpy. How inconsiderate they are!
When she finally pedals to her home she is blown away... all her friends didn't forget about her but are in her back yard ready to give her a birthday party extraordinaire! Harriet was overjoyed that her good friends didn't forget her birthday and together they indulged in the best birthday lunch that a little girl could ever wish for. Her birthday wish had come true... friends and their love are the best birthday gifts ever!
This heartwarming book highlights the themes of friendship, kindness, caring and gratitude. The illustrations are kid-friendly and full of detail and expression. The story is simple to read and the author has provided a "Next Steps" page at the end of the book that provides guidance for parents, caregivers and teachers. I recommend this book.
