Prince Tuti & the Birthday of Surprises

Something surprising is happening in Ancient Egypt!

Prince Tutankha-Ray "Tuti" and his wise sister, Princess Sobeka "Beka", are planning a secret birthday celebration for their inventive friend Imara.

Snake Charmer Samir is ready. Dancer Lena is twirling. The cake is waiting.

What could possibly go wrong?

Enter Sneaky Snef-Ru and his hopeless helper, Hap-Hazard Hapi.

Their plan to spoil the party quickly becomes a hilarious muddle of muddy cake, honking geese, confetti and spectacularly silly mistakes.

As the surprises tumble in, Imara helps Tuti and Beka discover that surprise is a real emotion that can feel exciting, funny, scary or confusing.

Children learn simple ways to handle unexpected moments: pause, breathe, notice what their body is telling them, ask questions and get help when they need it.

Packed with playful dialogue, slapstick fun, rhythmic read-aloud moments and warm emotional learning, Prince Tuti & the Birthday of Surprises is a joyful picture-book adventure for young readers and a useful conversation starter for parents, carers and teachers.
