Celebrating Birthdays

My children love celebrating their birthdays. They look forward to their birthdays months in advance, planning their parties, thinking about what fun they’ll have with their friends, choosing their favorite foods for their special birthday dinner.

It’s no wonder that many wonderful children’s books focus on birthday celebrations — the good, the bad and the silly. Check out some favorites over at Parents Press. My new Bookshelf article in Parents' Press is all about celebrating birthdays: the good, the bad and the silly.

Come read about fun stories to share as your little ones look forward to their own parties!

Here are some of the books I think are great to share:

• The Big Red Lollipop, by Rukhsana Khan
• Otis and Sydney and the Best Birthday Ever, by Laura Numeroff
• What Will You  Be, Sara Mee? by Kate Aver Avraham
• Happy Birthday, Bad Kitty, by Nick Bruel
• Nikki & Deja: Birthday Blues, by Karen English

enjoy!
