My Birthday Wish - Shanti and Amani

Amani thinks her
twelfth birthday is ruined—
until Mithu, an eye-rolling,
sass-squawking parrot,
starts talking.
Who is this feathered chatterbox,
and what secret does he carry?
Can memories really be passed down
through a genetic, magical feather?

Who is Pinki? Why is she suddenly at the heart of Amani’s
biggest decision yet? Is finding an alternative better than
fighting the problem?

Wise, whimsical, and full of warmth,
My Birthday Wish is a story of magical connections,
modern girlhood, and the courage to carry
forward the kindness of those
who came before.
