What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Clara picks an adorable dog pinata for her birthday party. She names him Lucky, and he becomes her constant companion. When the big day finally comes, she doesn’t want to let everybody break him. But if Clara keeps Lucky as a pet, she won’t have a pinata at her party. Luckily her friend, Samson, comes to the rescue with a wonderful solution – and a different pinata that nobody will mind breaking. Elisa Kleven’s lively, multicolored collage art is the perfect compliment to this joyful birthday story about the power of imagination. * “There is not a wrong note in this wonderful, upbeat picture book. . . Magical yet full of warmth and homey details, the pictures are a seamless blending of watercolor, ink, and cut paper. Alive with color, pattern, and shape, they’ll keep even the most easily distractible child fascinated.” –Booklist, starred review
