A birthday party touches all hearts young and old. This special party gives 'gifts of character' which are gently woven into the story. We know gifts come in all shapes and sizes, but these gifts build a child's self-esteem and values that will be carried throughout life. A great message and playful illustrations. The challenging vocabulary was carefully placed in a familiar setting with a clear explanation. Who doesn't want A HEART OF GOLD!!!!
I read my son lots of books but this one he loves the most. I hope he remembers the lessons it teaches because they are timeless. I think I benefit from the book more than he does. lol
My wife and I gave this book to our granddaughters for Christmas. It's a beautifully written and illustrated book and greatly needed for this generation as well as many to follow. Every parent and grandparent should have a copy of this book at home. If each family invested in this book and used it to teach children important morals and values, our country would be on a much healthier path.
I work as a teacher and this book explains the characteristics in a wonderful way! Thank you Heather and Sharon for collaborating and providing a wonderful tool for teachers. I look forward to future collaborations!
It's my first great granddaughter, and now it’s time to read to her. I have many choices, but this book shares the values and Spirit that I want to communicate to her. It teaches the golden rule (among other things). The child in the book gets ready for her birthday party. In addition to all the wonderful gifts, she also gets some other “gifts” she did not expect, Loyalty, positivity, tenacity, unconditional love, and a sense of humor. Priceless and timeless. Makes you both feel good all over. A must and an easy read.
