Bookroo's summary

Henry Bear's parents let him eat cake for every meal and stay up all night. But when his birthday wish goes awry, Henry must navigate the chaos and find a way to set things right. Can a new friendship help him discover what truly matters? Dive into this whimsical tale of wishes and unexpected consequences.

From the publisher

Henry Bear has very unusual parents. They encourage him to stay up all night, eat chocolate cake at every meal, and get into trouble with his teacher. Why? Find out in this droll tale about making wishes with unanticipated consequences written and illustrated by New Yorker cartoonist Liam Francis Walsh, author of Fish, which Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, called “full-bodied” and “rewarding.”
