(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stacey Schuett & Stacey Schuett. Text and art work together well in this story of faith and love. On Tessa's sixth birthday, everyone is there but her father, snowed in at an airport. Tessa's birthday wish to celebrate with her father is answered--he arrives home and wakes her up for a snowy middle-of-the-night birthday surprise. Although the story may be too sweet for some, the richly colored illustrations capture the disappointment, then the joy of the reunion.
Reviewer: Hilary Breed Van Dusen
