Caleb’s Birthday Wish

A Better Be Write Publisher (2006)

Reviewed by Susan Langford for Reader Views (6/06)


The author’s main point of the book is about hard work and determination with an up lifting tale of dreams fulfilled.  I like the thought that children that have handicaps can still have dreams.  I think any children’s book that has a happy ending has fulfilled its purpose.

I think Mr. Villanueva has an ability to write, but when reading the book out loud to my nieces the wording didn’t flow like most children’s stories.  The boy started to think to himself.   I find that hard to read and wanted to rewrite it as I was reading the story.

I think the story was very uplifting and creative.
