Publisher's Synopsis
Strawberry and Cracker are twins with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. They live with their grandma and her dog, Thunder. In The Birthday Bash, the twins receive a party invitation from their big brother Rocky who lives with his foster parents. But, Grandma is nervous. The noise and liveliness associated with parties can overwhelm a child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and result in misbehavior or meltdowns. Rocky's Foster dad, Sergio, suggests strategies for a successful celebration, but when the festivities begin, the stimulation escalates the twins' behavior to the point of ruining Rocky's party. With Strawberry's attempt to start a food fight, the twins' destruction of the decorations, and their howls at the noise of musical chairs, Grandma decides it is time to leave! Also available in the Strawberry & Cracker, Twins with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome series are The School Day, Fidget!, Advocate!, and, The Twins Learn Of Their Disorder. Suitable for children ages 5-12.
