Welcome to a wonderful birthday party!
What a great birthday party for David! Along with presents and packages, his mother's and father's extended families bring the favorite foods, party games, and language to their different cultures, Hispanic and Anglo. Relationships grow as they discover the strength of uniting into one big happy family. This is an exciting day for little David, who enjoys the best of both cultures. The party ends with a heartfelt blessing by his grandfathers and the birthday boy's prayer of thanksgiving for his entire family.
Reviews by a Variety of Professionals
Learning, accepting and loving other cultures and languages is encouraged in Happy Birthday to Me, which is awesome because God made all people and it is one of the Greatest Commands to love our neighbor. This book reflects some school's Character Education programs, which teach kindness and respect. It is written with Spanish words sprinkled among the English words while teaching the traditions of a Latin and an American birthday celebration.This book is a wonderful model of honoring and rejoicing in all peoples.
Lesley Hartman, Sunday School Teacher and Parent
"Happy Birthday to Me is one of the best children's books I have ever read. This book deals with cultural differences in such a beautiful way. It teaches acceptance. I can't say enough about how much my daughter and I enjoyed this book."
Lucretia Dawkins, Parent, Nottigham, MD
Happy Birthday to Me, which is written by David DeVore and his Cuban-Purto Rican wife, Tessie, bridges the cultural barriers of many generations.
