NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, November 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author and illustrator True Poet brings laughter, learning, and global wonder to life in Where’s Our PARTY? — A Global Birthday Celebration, a vibrant new picture book in The Global Adventure Series. Created for readers ages 5–8, the story follows the cheerful characters Cake and Gift on a spirited journey across continents as they search for Lilly’s birthday celebration, discovering the beautiful diversity of how communities around the world honor life, friendship, and togetherness.

From a festive Mexican fiesta bursting with color to rhythmic drumming in a Hopi village, each page invites children into a new cultural experience. Along the way, Cake and Gift explore joyful games like pabitin in the Philippines and lively rounds of musical chairs at a Nigerian Hausa gathering, while learning that birthday treats around the world may look different but all share the same ingredient: love. Through its lively storytelling, the book captures the universal magic of coming together to celebrate life’s meaningful moments.

Illustrated by True Poet and J Toons, Where’s Our PARTY? is filled with vibrant art that brings each celebration to life. Interactive questions and activities encourage young readers to engage directly with global traditions, making the book an ideal choice for classrooms, libraries, and family reading time. Its themes of curiosity, empathy, and cultural appreciation provide a foundation for learning while keeping readers entertained and inspired.

More than a story, Where’s Our PARTY? serves as an educational tool that naturally integrates geography, social studies, and diversity themes into an engaging reading experience. Each cultural stop invites discussion and exploration, allowing children to celebrate both similarities and differences with confidence, curiosity, and joy.

True Poet wrote the book to help children see themselves as part of a beautifully diverse global community.
“The more we understand each other’s traditions, the more we realize that celebration, like kindness, speaks every language,” she shares. Her message echoes throughout the book, reinforcing the power of unity, curiosity, and connection.
