Molly and her mom are from Russia and they do not know about birthdays. They did not celebrate birthdays the way we do in America. Molly's new friend at school sends her an invitation to her birthday party and she can not wait. The only problem is the party is during the week of Passover and Molly cannot eat any of the pretty pink cake. Molly thinks about eating the cake anyway after all her mom would never know. But a lot of thing happen at Emma's party that make Molly learn about her self, her family, and to accept their own traditions.
