Birthday? Birthday!! Birthday!!! by Michael A. Brown, Illustrated by Lovyaa Garg

A charming tale about patience, self-control, and motherly love, Birthday? Birthday!! Birthday!!! Impatient Patience’s Special Day by Michael A. Brown is a relatable and delightful new read for children. Brought to life with exceptional illustrations by Lovyaa Garg, this story is packed with subtle lessons, particularly about the importance of family, slowing down to appreciate the world, and how love can thrive over long distances. Some of the prose could be improved, including unnatural word order and awkward meter in certain sections; adding an extra preposition or conjunction could help some lines flow more smoothly within the sing-song rhythm. However, for those young readers who enjoy vivid colors, amusing characters, and heartwarming endings, this latest book by Michael A. Brown is sure to please.
