A story where your child is the birthday hero
This is a real LuluStories book created by a family in our community.

What parents say
“We've now done three years in a row — space, then dinosaurs, then pirates. My son asks about "his next book" before he even asks about presents.”
“Every other birthday gift was unwrapped and forgotten within the hour. This is the one she actually asked us to read again that same night.”
“I made one for my nephew's birthday featuring his obsession of the month, which was garbage trucks. LuluStories somehow made a genuinely exciting garbage truck adventure. He is still talking about it.”
