🎨 How to color it

Color the duck buttery yellow, the striped party hat raspberry and sky blue, the cupcake frosting vanilla pink, and the balloon bright teal. Use chunky crayons or broad markers for the duck’s big body and balloon, then help with the small stars, candle stripes, and bunting points. Try making the candle flame glow with orange in the middle and yellow around it, like it is lighting up the duck’s happy face.

The story behind this coloring page

Della Finds the Birthday Spark — Under the bunting, Della set herself a challenge: seven claps before the cupcake candle went out. Clap, clap, clap! Read the full story →

Under the bunting, Della set herself a challenge: seven claps before the cupcake candle went out. Clap, clap, clap! The grass smelled sweet, and the balloon string tickled her wing. But on clap six, the tiny flame leaned close and whispered, “Wait.”

Della froze. Behind the frosting swirl, a speck of light blinked like a shy star. She gave one soft clap, not loud at all. The speck jumped into the candle and stayed there, warm and wiggly. Ever since, birthday candles keep one secret spark for the duck who feels exactly where she belongs. Can you spot where Della first saw it glow?
