Compare Birthday Surprises by Johanna Hurwitz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This unique collection of short stories celebrates the creative power of imagination. At Hurwitz's invitation 10 well-known children's authors have written pieces based on a single premise: a young person finds an empty box among his or her birthday gifts. The enormously varied responses range in tone from amusing to heartwarmingly sad; all provide food for thought....An excellent surprise package.-School Library Journal. | Birthday Surprises by Johanna Hurwitz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
