SOLVED. Children's Picture book about birthdays. Read in mid 1990s. [s]

[Lucy]

My sister had a book in the mid 90s that I'm trying to track down for my daughter. It was a young chapter book which would be suitable for about age 7-10 all about birthdays. It was set in a school and every chapter or short story within the book was about a child in the class and what they did for their birthday. I think the children in the book were turning 7 but I may have that wrong.
There was a boy in the book called Tom and he wore glasses and there was a bit about him really liking cake. His story was one of the first in the book. There was another story about two friends who shared the same birthday party. One was called Siobhan and she possibly was black with cornrows but I can't remember exactly, and her friend Veronica was white with light hair. The illustrations were in black and white and on the end pages there was an illustration of all of the children in the book with their name next to them. The version we had was hardback and the cover was yellow.

I feel like it was called birthdays, or happy birthday or something along those lines but I've done countless searches and can find nothing 😕

PLEASE can anyone help me😭

will also add, sorry I forgot this detail. I'm based in UK so possibly a UK only publication.

WorldCat! Worldcat.org

Advanced search (have to press the little lollipop thingmy)
date: 1990 - 1999
title: birthday
keyword: Siobhan
subject: juvenile fiction

Then I had to check all the ISBNs and search for the image, since (as usual), GR didn't have a cover for it. Figured it would help. Just a bonus that it's conveniently for sale at The Children's Bookshop (which I buy from frequently - can vouch for). ;)

To be fair, if you can remember a word in the title or a name, it usually is pretty quick. So credit to you for BOTH!! :)
