Notă biografică
Bethanie Deeney Murguia has worked as an art director for publishers, design firms, and marketing agencies. In that time she has had many birthdays, but still feels five when she wears her birthday crown. Her daughter, who had many expectations about her fifth birthday, was disappointed when she "didn't feel five" on her big day. This inspired Bethanie to write a story about the quieter, unexpected moments that help us to realize we've grown or changed. She lives in San Francisco.
Recenzii
This ... beautifully told story should prompt intriguing conversations on how events like birthdays infuse meaning into the flow of days that makes up our lives--even when any actual day-to-day change is barely evident. Fritz and his Marmaduke-size dog make excellent companions on this philosophical journey, leavening big questions with kid-scaled humor.
--Publishers Weekly
Self-assured pen, ink and watercolor illustrations produce vivid renderings of a young boy's bounce, his tousled hair, bony ankles, fluttering superhero cape, inflated birthday expectation and subsequent deflation. Fritz's day plays out in soft watercolor scenes that make fine use of page turns, page composition and supremely crisp white space. ... Every child knows how it feels to squirm gleefully in the throes of a big buildup and also how it feels to stifle tears after a big letdown, making Fritz's story universally appealing. Empathetic and sweet, this simply told, well-illustrated book helps not only with birthday bummers, but with negotiating many of life's highs and lows.""
--Kirkus Reviews
Lively artwork rendered in pen and ink and watercolor enhances the simple lines used for facial features. Murguia employs excellent pacing by using a varied perspective, such as the anticipation created during the pause in the narrative with a view of two pairs of shoes meeting on the playground--one pair of reddish-orange sneakers and another pair of red flowery pumps.
