Surprise! It’s Callie the Cat’s birthday, and her family and friends have planned a top-secret party for her. But when Callie takes a bite of her birthday cake, she gets another surprise: she is allergic to eggs!
Callie visits the famous Dr. Wilde, who teaches her all about having an egg allergy, including how to use an auto-injector to keep herself safe. Callie also learns how to find the best egg-free treats to eat. In the end, Callie returns to her party, and, surrounded by her loving friends and family, realizes that, no matter what, everything will be okay.
