HTML:<p><b>"Gaspari sheds light on sensory sensitivity in this heartfelt picture book, which centers Lucas, a light brown–skinned boy who dislikes the overwhelming atmosphere endemic of birthday parties....Gaspari grounds the text with evocative descriptions and accessible dialogue as Kalla's warm, simple pencil and watercolor illustrations depict dot-eyed children of varying abilities, skin tones, and hair textures. A gentle encouragement of adaptation over assimilation for those who experience sensory overload."—<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b></p> <p>More than anything, Lucas wants to enjoy birthday parties like his friends... but he is overwhelmed by all of the sights, sounds and sensations that come with celebrations. When he gets invited to a birthday party for his friend, he makes a brave plan to join in, thinking that he should act like everyone else. But when his plan fails, a new friend teaches him that there is more than one way to enjoy a birthday party... and that's perfectly fine.</p>. Media Type: eBook.
