What is Birthday Boy about?

Sam Green adores birthdays—the presents, parties, and special breakfasts. On his 11th birthday, he wishes for it to be his birthday every day. At first, it's thrilling as his wish comes true, but soon, the endless celebrations lead to unexpected problems. Sam realises that having a birthday every day isn't as fun as he imagined, and he must find a way to set things right. A humorous tale about being careful what you wish for.
