 Excerpt:

On a sunny day in April, a small package arrived at Jack’s house. It was a birthday present for Jack from Kamama, his grandma.

Jack was very excited. He liked getting presents. What could be inside it? He could hardly wait for Daddy to come home so the family could celebrate his birthday together.  

Mommy had fixed pizza, his favorite dinner, and after everyone had finished eating, it was finally time for Jack to open his present. 

Jack’s little brother, James, helped tug on the ribbon, and they both tore off the wrapping paper. At last the package was open.

There, in front of him, was the most colorful box Jack had ever seen.
