About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is growing curious about their own past and excited for an upcoming birthday. It's a wonderful tool for helping a child understand the concept of growing older and for starting conversations about your own family's memories and traditions. The book gently follows a young girl as she recalls a special detail from each of her first five birthdays, from the ladybug she saw at age one to the cake she helps bake at age five. Its quiet, reflective tone focuses on the love and simple joys of family celebrations, making it a comforting read for children ages 5 to 8. This book is less about the party and presents, and more about the beautiful journey of growing up one year at a time.
