Official synopsis Publisher
Little Jack is a good boy who goes to school, takes care of his own needs around the house (and sometimes even more than his own needs!), respects his parents, and trusts them without question. When his father, who’s supposed to take him to a birthday party Jack is very eager to attend, gets called away by his job, he tells the boy his mother will take him instead.
But things don’t go as planned. What happens to prevent the little fellow from being at that party? And what, if anything, do Jack and his parents learn from the experience? Heart-rending and profoundly in touch with the deep feelings of its hero, No Party for Jack describes a very difficult day in a little boy’s life.
