Birthdays are magical moments for children everywhere—a day filled with excitement, love, and celebration. From parties and gifts to special birthday meals, every child looks forward to feeling extra special. In It's My Birthday!, we meet Zingisile from South Africa as he wakes up on his birthday. What makes his celebration unique? What delicious birthday foods does he enjoy? He dreams even in the classroom about his favorite meal for his birthday. Around the world, children celebrate with different traditions—cake in the U.S., longevity noodles in China, tres leches cake in Mexico, and fairy bread in Australia. Yet, no matter where they are, birthdays bring the same joy, laughter, and feeling of being cherished!
