Just in Time

Some birthdays turn into stories a family tells forever. This one began with a promise.

Written by Brenda Kent and based on real events from her son's childhood, this true-story children's book takes young readers back to a bright July morning in Queens, New York, 1996. Six-year-old Jason has waited weeks for the video game his mom promised him. Now their birthday shopping trip is off to a joyful start. Then something unexpected catches Jason's eye, and his mother finds herself with a secret plan that will make this the best birthday ever.

Told with warmth and humor, this mother and son picture book celebrates family love, the joy of promises kept, and the wonderful things that happen when a parent truly listens to a child's heart.

This birthday book for kids features:

• A real family story children can believe in
• Playful, colorful illustrations from cover to cover
• A Bunny Rabbit teaches responsibility and caring for others
• Easy, engaging language perfect as a read-aloud book for children
• A surprise birthday ending that gets little listeners giggling and guessing

A wonderful pick for story time, bedtime stories, and classroom reading, JUST IN TIME also makes a thoughtful birthday gift book for boys and girls, and a sweet choice for any child dreaming of a pet of their own.
