A Birthday Cake is No Ordinary Cake

Birthdays are special events for most children. This story about making a birthday cake is unusual because it also explains the changes in the world during a calendar year to show readers how time passes from one birthday to the next. In the back is a recipe for traditional cake and frosting. Written and illustrated (cut-paper collage) by Debra Frasier, and inspired by her daughters first birthday, this could be used in a science unit about the seasons.
