Join Sona and her Dada on a trip through the market where they pick up delicious treats for a surprise birthday party. Happy to be reunited with Kabir Seghal and Surshtha Seghal, 10 years after the New York Times bestselling picture book, A Bucket of Blessings.

From Kirkus Reviews:

"The book’s bright illustrations make use of enticing patterns and feature background characters with a variety of skin tones and hair textures. Filled with color and movement, the artwork brims with joyful chaos."

“Readers will delight in the breathtaking illustrations. Double-page spreads are rich and vibrant, Tsong using the colors of nature to evoke a warm and inviting environment. The combination of printmaking and digital collage creates an abundance of depth and texture to each illustration. From an aerial view of a tiny tent in a vast forest to a close-up look at a dazzling spiderweb, the varying perspective reveals more and more with each page turn.” Kirkus Reviews

First Morning Sun, by Aimee Reid (Beach Lane Books) is a tender and joyful exploration of life’s firsts as shared between baby, family and community.

Publishers Weekly writes, “ In jubilant scenes, Tsong’s digital illustrations layer thickly outlined, rough-hewn figures with largely fanciful skin tones atop vibrant batik-like patterns. When three kids swing gaily on a tire swing (“First taking flight”), they practically fly off the page. Similarly unadorned and emphatic, text and prose aptly focus attention on many affecting moments of early childhood. “
