Description
Es el día antes del cumpleaños de su hermana mayor, y Lori, de cinco años, está decidida a encontrar su propio regalo para dar. Este año, decide Lori, no quiere firmar con su nombre el regalo de los demás. Pero no es fácil comprar el regalo perfecto. Aunque Lori sabe lo que querría, ninguna de las cosas maravillosas que ve en el Mercado parece del todo correcta. Poco sabe Lori que los mejores y más perfectos regalos a veces nos llegan cuando menos los esperamos. Traducido de The Birthday Swap, ¡Qué sorpresa de cumpleaños! es una historia cálida sobre las alegrías de dar y recibir. Loretta Lopez celebra el amor familiar y la unión a través de su prosa afectuosa y sus divertidas y coloridas ilustraciones.

PreS-Gr 3-A warm family story steeped in Mexican culture. Lori describes the preparations for her sister Cuqui's summertime party, as she and her mother go to tia Sabina's house and to the market that's full of colorful pinatas, delicious-smelling food, and eye-catching delights. The day finally arrives and when the girls enter the barbecue, they hear the shouts, " Feliz cumpleanos, Lori!" Cuqui explains that she felt they should swap birthdays, since Lori never gets to do the things she likes for her winter birthday such as swim and barbecue. The bright gouache and colored-pencil artwork and festive borders around the text perfectly suit the spirit of the story.-Mildred Rivera Said, Queens Borough Public Library, NY
