In this poignant book about a young girl's longing for love and acceptance, readers meet Sylvia Parker. From the moment Mother burned Sylvia's new ballet toe shoes, this feisty six-year-old has questions. Does Mother love her? Why would Mother do that? By fifth grade, Sylvia still has questions but moves ahead of them by depending on Donna, her faithful friend, and her own spunk. When Sylvia tackles her biggest project yet, throwing herself a birthday party, her first ever, things get dicey. In a story that tugs at the hearts of young readers, Sylvia grows up lonely in her large family of eight. In the old blue house her parents struggle to keep afloat, Sylvia also wrestles with the bullying of an older sister much favored by their mother. Her grit and mettle, as Sylvia yearns and searches for love and self-esteem, bring a smile to readers who root for her from the baking of her own birthday cake to the hosting of her own party. Come to the party, and celebrate Sylvia!
