Birthday parties are supposed to have cake, balloons, and fun. Nobody said anything about Barbara. It's birthday season in Lanie-Lou, and Queen Lanie is determined to give Bina and Gigi a celebration to remember. The theme? Rainbows, Robots, and Cake. The problem? Barbara hates balloons. Barbara is Lanie's wobbly left leg, courtesy of multiple sclerosis, and she has opinions. Mandy, Lanie's shaky and slightly dramatic left arm, isn't much help either. Soon, rainbow napkins are flying, frosting is going rogue, balloons are everywhere, and one wild leg is about to turn a perfectly planned party into an unforgettable adventure.
But with her red scooter, her family, and a very good sense of humor, Lanie knows that when life gets wobbly, sometimes the best thing you can do is laugh and roll with it. ¿ A funny, heartwarming tale of disability, family, resilience, and finding joy in the chaos. Because in Lanie-Lou, you can plan the party. but you can't always plan for Barbara.
