On Tu B'Shevat (a Jewish holiday similar to Arbor Day), the tree in Joni's yard "didn't look like it even knew it was having a birthday." So Joni and her neighbor throw the tree a party, which includes party hats and a soil cupcake. The green-saturated, fuzzy-edged pictures reflect the gentle text's environmentally friendly message. A note about the holiday is appended.
