It's Boa's birthday, and he's so excited for his friends to bring him presents. However, when Orangutan, Monkey, Jaguar, and Sloth bring their presents, he is so disappointed. How can he play the piano without fingers? Or wear sunglasses without a nose and ears? And when Dung Beetle arrives with her present, Boa has had enough. But Dung Beetle's present holds a surprise that may just make it the best gift ever! Pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations complement this hilarious story of keeping an open mind about presents that stink.

Stories have existed since the earliest civilizations. They were painted on the walls of caves, written on sheets of papyrus, created into tapestries, and bound into books. They can be printed, acted out, or read. The simple text of this feel-good book beautifully celebrates the power of story in all of its many forms and modes of transmission.
