Why don&#8217;t you ask one of your friends to come over to play?'&#8221; You welcome your Mother&#8217;s suggestion, but ask for a little more: &#8220;&#8216;Well, could Jack bring someone and maybe some food too?&#8221; When your distracted mother answers, &#8220;&#8216;Of course. Invite anyone you&#8217;d like,'&#8221; well, then &#8230; there&#8217;s all the permission you ever needed! And you write the invitation just so: &#8220;Come to my party. It&#8217;s my BIRTHDAY. Bring along whoever you want and whatever you like to eat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jack and his brother Larry bring cookies. Jack tells Beto and Antonieta who can&#8217;t bear to leave their parrot home, and arrives with pineapple, mangos, and passion fruit. Of course, Antonieta had to tell her best friend Fatima, who tells her brother Djamel, so their mother sends tajine with olives and pickled lemons. Tony will want to bring cousin Carlo, with pizzas and gelato to share. Which means Hannah and her little brother will come with their canary to meet Antonieta&#8217;s parrot, along with a Black Forest cake and springerle, too. Maria is their neighbor, so she shows up with her macaw, as well as flan and cod cakes. Carmen brings paella, and Tamio brings sushi. Along with so many friends and such festive eats, the backyard fills with salsa dancers and a reggae band &#8230; and suddenly, &#8220;your birthday party could turn out to be the craziest, wildest, funnest party ever!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Author Machado, who won the 2000\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibby.org\/index.php?id=1199\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Hans Christian Andersen Award<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0the world&#8217;s highest international recognition for kiddie book writers and illustrators \u2013\u00a0knows how to party, bringing together all the different friends, families, cuisines from around the world into one multi-culti celebration.
