Bobby in Search of a Birthday (version 2)

Bobby is five years old, and there's something he wants more than anything in the world: a birthday. As an orphan, no one ever told him the day he came into the world, and now he's decided to go find it. What follows is a wandering, wonderful quest through strange streets and stranger encounters, as Bobby knocks on doors and asks everyone he meets: "Have you seen my birfday?" Some people laugh. Most people help. Together, they point him toward the next corner, the next town, the next possibility. This is a book that understands children aren't small adults they're something braver, walking through the world with absolute certainty that magic is real and that someone, somewhere, has the answer. The ending arrives like a small miracle, earned through kindness and persistence. It will make you cry in the best way.
