Walker Stories Jack's Little Party (P)

In this heartwarming tale of family life and a young boy's birthday celebration, an acclaimed storyteller weaves a touching narrative.

It's Jack's special day, and his friend Sam is joining him after school for a small, intimate party. The two boys find themselves in Jack's cozy flat, where his exuberant mother engages them in simple games. Jack's birthday cake is a homemade shark creation, not as extravagant as the colossal windmill cake Sam had at his own birthday party. There's no DJ, treasure hunt, or magician in sight. Yet, as Sam's mother arrives to take him home, Jack has an epiphany about his own good fortune.
