Joey Ames had a problem. A big one. "He kicked the porch rail so hard he hurt his toe," but that wasn't his problem.
Today was his father's birthday and Joey had no present for him. That was Joey's problem, and he wrestled with it all day—a day in which he encountered several people (and a new-born fawn) who helped him learn that sometimes the best gifts are not wrapped in gaily colored paper and ribbon.
In THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT Patricia Miles Martin has written a warmhearted story of a Kansas boy who came face to face with truth, honor, and love.
