One thing they saw
A real petting zoo, set up just for her and her friends.
All celebrations
A Wonder & Whim celebration
The Animal Lover
She wanted to meet every single one of them.
01 • Start with them
We didn’t start with a theme. We started with her.
She loved animals — not from a distance, but up close, hands on, right in the middle of it.

03 • Three things
We didn’t make everything special. Just the right three things.
One thing they did
Held the animals herself — with a little help from a very patient handler.
One thing that said “we know you”
Face paint, so every child could become a favorite animal too.
04 • The moment
She didn't watch the animals from behind a fence. She held them, laughed, and spent her birthday exactly where she wanted to be.
05 • The gallery
Little pieces of her day.
