This is the story of Carina Cancer, who is excited for her birthday party.  She’s busy planning everything, but then starts to worry about if all of her friends will enjoy what she has planned.  The story goes from the planning of the party, all the way through until the party is over. It’s a pretty fun story, and sort of shows that people sometimes worry about things unnecessarily.This is a much longer children’s book than I expected it to be.  Normally, you get through it in 3 minutes, and there are a lot of pictures, but that’s about all.  This is 40 pages, with illustrations on each page, and it took around 10 minutes for just me to read through, not even accounting for reading it to your child.  Her, and all of her friends, are the different astrological symbols, so this story would be perfect for introducing your child to astrology.The art is very interesting, as well.  It’s not hand drawn, but something like papercraft, or fabric-craft?  I’m actually not 100% sure, but it has a very interesting look to it, that kind of reminds me of a frame of stop motion animation.  After reading this book, maybe you and your child could even try to make the characters in this book, or make some original characters yourselves!
