Happy Book Birthday to LET’S HAVE A DOG PARTY!
In this picture book, Kate and Frank are best friends. To celebrate Frank’s birthday, Kate throws him a party with all her favorite things: lots of friends, dancing in circles, loud singing, and sparkly confetti everywhere. But best friends don’t always have the same taste in parties. Frank prefers quiet, sun-drenched naps on his favorite rug. So he hides. Kate must find a way to bring Frank back to the party–on his own terms. This tender debut picture book by Mikela Prevost is a fresh take on the classic birthday-party story, and one that encourages empathy and the art of listening.

PARTY LOCATION…
The soft spot by the chair, where the sun has warmed the rug.
PARTY SOUNDS…
A loud acapella group of children at first, but then quickly shifts into the sound of curtains gently stirring in the air.
PARTY FOOD…
The yummiest dry dog food and a wet dog food cake!
PARTY GAMES…
First hide and seek, but if party goers aren’t excited about that – maybe a nice quiet game of napping.
PARTY FAVORS…
Dog biscuits, of course!

Mikela Prevost has always loved drawing and funny stories. Now she has combined those passions into her picture book debut LET’S HAVE A DOG PARTY! Before writing and illustrating full time, Mikela taught art to children from four year olds all the way up to college age, so she has first hand knowledge of the importance of a well told story.
