Bookroo's summary

Little Pookie is bursting with birthday excitement, but there's a catch—it's still nighttime, and everyone else is asleep. With the world outside still dark, Pookie's enthusiasm can't be contained. Will the daybreak bring the celebration Pookie dreams of, or will the night keep its hold? Dive into this charming tale of anticipation and see if Pookie's big day can start before the sun rises.

"It's your birthday indeed. And when the sun rises, we'll have a whole day of birthday surprises."
