What is May-Ling's party about?

May-Ling is excited about her birthday party, but planning the guest list is not easy. When some children are invited and others are left out, hurt feelings and jealousy begin to cause trouble. The friends must think carefully about fairness, kindness and how their choices affect one another. As the party gets closer, May-Ling and her classmates learn that being a good friend means listening, including others and finding ways to solve problems together.
