In this warm and sunny picture book, follow the progress of a little
girl and her father as they put together a wonderful birthday surprise
for mom: a window box flower garden.
After the pansies, tulips, daffodils, geraniums, and daisies are
purchased and dad and daughter take them home on the bus, they're
lovingly planted in the window box. Candles on the cake are
lighted--just as Mom walks in the door to find her daughter, her
husband, and her birthday surprise.
"Wonderful, warm, full-color illustrations present scenes from novel
angles, and depict a loving family with a sense of intimacy, sincerity,
and joy."--School Library Journal
