The Birthday Queen

(3) K-3 The Birthday Queen is preparing for "your" party; she has birds deliver the invitations, takes over for the palace pastry chefs, etc. There are hints in the luminous art that this might not be a fairy tale after all (the party guests resemble modern-day kids), but readers won't guess the solid-gold twist: turns out the tireless queen is "your mother."
