| Summary | "Bobby in Search of a Birthday" by Lebbeus Mitchell is a children's novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1916. The book follows a young boy named Bobby North, who embarks on a whimsical journey to discover the concept of a birthday, an event he has never experienced due to his upbringing at an orphanage. Through Bobby's innocent eyes, the story explores themes of belonging, love, and the beauty found in simple joys, ultimately reflecting on what it means to be cherished. In this heartwarming tale, Bobby, a five-year-old boy, yearns to understand birthdays after witnessing another child’s celebration. His adventure begins when he is invited to the countryside, where he befriends a playful puppy and a kind family. Throughout the story, Bobby encounters various characters, including the Man Who Lets You Play with the Puppy and the Lady Who Likes Little Boys, who each impart life lessons about love and generosity. Bobby’s quest leads him to a touching realization about family and self-worth, culminating in a profound moment where he is offered the chance to have a birthday of his own, symbolizing his newfound acceptance and joy. The narrative captures the essence of childhood innocence and the desire for connection, leaving readers with a message about the importance of love and family.
