It’s Your Birthday

An ode to birthdays, the joys of eating cake, and celebrating with friends, this colorful, chunky board book is a work of art meant to be displayed face-out on nursery bookshelves.

Rise and shine!
It’s time to bake your birthday cake!

Find the mixing bowls, measuring spoons, and cups.
And get out the flour, sugar, and eggs for making a cake deluxe.

The baking is done and it’s time to decorate.
Use red, green, and blue, but be sure to alternate.

Family and friends are here to hang
streamers, balloons, and a birthday banner.
Good thing your mom is such a great birthday planner.

Now to celebrate and sing.
Just think of all the magic you bring.

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday sweet child,
Happy Birthday to You!
