An elevator ride to a birthday party turns into a shared experience bursting with joy in this multicultural story about community, togetherness and the special feeling of belonging.
Today is Oliveâs birthday party, and Sophie and her dad have baked cookies. Sophieâs dad holds the platter so Sophie can push the elevator button for the tenth floor. But on the way up, the elevator stops to let the Santucci brothers get on. Then on the next floor, Vicky, Babs and their dog, Norman, get in. And as the elevator ascends, it keeps stopping, and more neighbors squeeze in to the crowded space: the Habibs, the Flores family, Mr. Kwan, Vi Tweedle with her Chihuahua, Minx. Everyone is going to the party!
Playfully combining the excitement and anticipation of a party with childrenâs universal love of riding in elevators, Sherry J. Leeâs picture book story is ultimately about community and a sense of belonging. With characters from many cultural backgrounds, it showcases the everyday diversity that many urban children experience. Charlene Chuaâs illustrations provide loads of funny details and visual narratives that arenât in the text, making for a multilayered reading experience. The bookâs tall, narrow trim size adds to the effect of the rising elevator.
