Island Birthday

By Eva Murray and Jamie Hogan

Riley's birthday is coming, but the mail plane with his gifts from the mainland hasn t been able to get to the island for days because of bad weather. In a mood that matches the weather, he agrees to help Uncle Harv collect driftwood to make furniture. One thing leads to another as it always does on a small island, and eventually Riley realizes that everything he needs for a great birthday is already right at hand, and an island birthday is special in many ways.
