When’s my birthday? Where’s my birthday? How many days until my birthday? Birthdays are exciting for all ages, but for the youngest children, they are one of the best days of the year! In the new children’s book When’s My Birthday? by Julie Fogliano, an adorable young girl dreams up plans for the biggest, best-est birthday ever! Will she get a pony? Will she have a big cake? The anticipation builds with each page turn as readers race to discover what’s in store for our birthday girl. Bright, painted collages by acclaimed illustrator Christian Robinson bring our narrator’s dreams to life and capture the birthday excitement that can hardly be contained by any young child.
As part of the October 3 First Tuesday event, meet the creative team behind When’s My Birthday? in an interactive, energetic presentation about the magic of birthdays and books! Julie and Christian will share stories about the art of creating words and pictures to tell a story and answer questions from their kid readers.
Help us celebrate the book birthday of When’s My Birthday? and enter for a chance to win a signed copy of the book! To enter, bring a handmade, kid-made birthday card to the book talk that captures what your child loves most about birthdays. All submissions will be entered into a drawing to receive one signed copy of When’s My Birthday? The winner will be announced at the end of the presentation.
A book signing will follow the event; copies of the book will be for sale in the DMA Store.
