That is until the night before Nia's seventh birthday, when Alfie disappears! Then, in an innovative switch in point of view, we hear Alfie's side of the story. He didn't leave Nia he's actually searching for the perfect birthday present for his dear friend. The journey takes him down the fire escape and into the yard. Can he find a gift and make it back in time for the big birthday party? From the author-illustrator of Fraidyzoo and The Bear Report comes a warm and funny ode to friendship even when the friends see the relationship, and the world, very differently.
