(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eugenie Fernandes. Mutanu wakes up excited because "today is the day" at her Kenyan orphanage: a birthday party for all of the orphans, both those whose birthdays are known and those, like Mutanu, whose date is not. Presents and cake are great, but best of all is having her existence validated. Acrylic illustrations add joy and context. A note on The Creation of Hope orphanage is appended.
