Full Review by Books Paradise
Exactly what a birthday book should be — short, warm, and specific enough that a seven-year-old recognises themselves on every page.
A birthday book for seven-year-olds, built around the small, specific things that make seven worth celebrating — reading whole chapters alone, having actual opinions, and being trusted with things you were not trusted with at six. Emily Monroe keeps it bright, kind and firmly on the child’s side.
