I Don't Like Birthday Parties (UK Edition)

By Maureen Gaspari

"An empathetic picture book about being a little bit different." - Kirkus Reviews

More than anything, Lucas wants to enjoy birthday parties like his friends... but he is overwhelmed by all of the sights, sounds and sensations that come with celebrations. When he gets invited to a birthday party for his friend, he makes a brave plan to join in, thinking that he should act like everyone else. But when his plan fails, a new friend teaches him that there is more than one way to enjoy a birthday party... and that's perfectly fine.

Lucas was a boy who did not like birthday parties.

He couldn't really explain it, but something about birthday parties made his insides go all squooshy, gooshy and his brain feel squiggly, wiggly.
