It s Alice s birthday But her friend Gertrude seems to have forgotten. No matter, Alice goes out and enjoys her day just the same. A beautiful spring afternoon in Paris what could be better? Little does she know that her dear friend has a few surprises up her sleeve.
While Alice spends the day walking around Paris riding a carousel in the park and watching a puppet show Gertrude turns her attention to the kitchen. She is determined to make a lavish dinner with all of Alice s favorite things and write a poem to match the occasion.
But the lure of the perfect poetic line proves to be too distracting, and just as Alice s day takes an exciting and unexpected turn, Gertrude s big dinner falls all to pieces. The poem turns out beautifully, of course, but the house is a bit of a mess. It s a good thing Alice doesn t mind cleaning up. And that she has such a good brownie recipe for their guests.
Inspired by the lives of artist Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Monica Kulling s warm and whimsical narration is perfectly balanced by Qin Leng s bright and energetic illustrations. This is a sweetly joyful story of love, friendship and creative inspiration.
