Lexile Level 600LWhat is a mother? A mother is the same whether children are adopted or biological. In this story, the child has been adopted. It is written from the viewpoint of the child to help explain mother is the same in any family. Mom helps check under the bed for monsters, reads books, and watches movies with the girl. She does the same things every mother does. Visually, the images show a white mother and an Asian daughter.
An easy reader or read-to-me-book for PK through second grade. Simply told story about adoption. The focus is on the unconditional regard of an adopted child and her adoptive mother in daily situations familiar to all children. The illustrations by Pieter Els, are delightful and will draw in the child. A good story for children-adopted or not-about love and acceptance.
A beautiful story about the love between an adopted little girl and her mother. Reading it to a child who has recently been adopted would be such a joy. I highly recommend this lovely book.
