Produktbeschreibung

Its 3 days before the big event and 7 year old African-American, Kyeshia (Ki-e-sha), with the help of her family, is planning a special birthday party. She is holding her 8th birthday party at school, and is inviting all of her classmates in her 3rd grade class, and all readers. Her excitement is contagious as she invites all readers of this book, and all of the students in Mrs. Pushems class. Kyeisha can hardly wait. She, for the 100th time, describes, to anyone who will listen, the plans that will make the celebration one she will never forget. Grandmother Goody is baking her two kinds of cupcakes. 1 and half dozen double dutch chocolate cupcakes with fudge icing; and 1 and half dozen cupcakes with lemon honey glaze icing. All of the cupcakes have sprinkles. A Birthday Storys themes are the early positive experiences the planning provides Kyeshia, and how her family works together to create this experience. A Birthday Story was inspired by someone whose birthday did not fall during the school year. The story was written for a childrens audience.
