70 years old (Born on February 23, 1955)
Happy Birthday, Francesca Simon! May your day be filled with laughter and mischief worthy of Horrid Henry himself. You've given us countless giggles through tooth fairy tricks gone wrong and stinkbombs that linger delightfully in our imaginations—truly timeless classics!Your stories have turned bedtime into adventure time for generations; parents everywhere thank (and blame!) you equally. Here's hoping this year brings even more hilarious chaos to inspire new tales—and perhaps fewer real-life stinkbomb incidents.
Wishing the queen of playful pandemonium a birthday as wonderfully wicked as her beloved creation. Keep causing literary trouble—we wouldn't want it any other way!
