An ode to babies and the joy of real family life. The day Oscar turns six months old, Mum, Dad and Millie decide to celebrate. They take coat-hanger fairy wings, three tuna sandwiches and a chocolate cake with half a candle, and set off across the city for a picnic on Bellevue Hill. Once there, all the other people in the park join in for a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday" in this warm, gentle story of a family celebration on an urban, autumn day. The new picture book from the Kate Greenaway Medal Winner 2003. This tale was inspired by an event witnessed by the author on Hampstead Heath, where a crowd of people spontaneously began to sing "Happy Birthday" to a baby!
