Description
It’s Oakley’s special day! The little polar bear is excited about his birthday party, from choosing between chocolate chip and chocolate swirl cake to playing games with friends. But when balloons keep popping, sister Ruth gets upset about losing games, and Mother burns the cake they worked so hard to make, Oakley learns that the best part of any celebration isn’t the perfect details—it’s sharing time with the people you love.
A heartwarming, humorous, and delightfully illustrated story about joy, resilience, and the magic of imperfect celebrations.
