My Review: I picked this book up quite some time ago but am glad I finally took the time to read it. This is a beautiful story about a young girl adjusting to a foster home. There is a lot of comfort in both the story and the images. It is also a great conversation starter whether you have foster children in your life or not, Munchkin and I had some really great discussions on the different types of family, love and what exactly does make a family.
My Rating: We really enjoyed this book and I love the subtle and comforting approach it has. We definitely give this book a solid Four Paws!
