Summary: "Bobby in Search of a Birthday" by Lebbeus Mitchell is a children's novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1916. The book follows a young boy named Bobby North, who embarks on a whimsical journey to discover the concept of a birthday, an event he has never experienced due to his upbringing at an orphanage. Through Bobby's innocent eyes, the story explores themes of belonging, love, and the beauty found in simple joys, ultimately reflecting on what it means to be cherished. In this heartwarming tale, Bobby, a five-year-old boy, yearns to understand birthdays after witnessing another child’s celebration.
