Little Anna’s Mum’s Birthday

By Inger and Lasse Sandberg

Anna is a little girl who likes to do things by herself. She wants to build things and she wants to decide on things. She knows how to, for she is a very resourceful girl! Little Anna’s mum’s birthday is coming up. Anna wants to get her something, but she has no money for her mum’s birthday present. However, instead of buying something, Anna gets a great idea, and she gets up early to bake a nice cake. Her mum has never seen such a lovely cake and received such a nice present!
