My daughter's favorite book! |
| I adopted my daughter from China in 2001 and this has been her favorite book from the beginning. She sees the woman in the book as me and the baby in the book as her. In her mind the book was written for us, about us. It tells the story of her adoption in simple language terms that she can understand. It has always been my favorite too. |

From My Own Experience |
| I was browsing in the children's section of the bookstore when this book caught my eye. I picked it up because I thought that the baby on the cover was adorable. The minute I read the first couple of words I knew what this book was about. As I sat there reading this book, I could feel the tears starting to swell in my eyes. I was five years old when I was adopted and I am now 23 years old. I Love You Like Crazy Cakes struck a deep chord with me and hope it does the same for anyone who reads it. |

This book makes me sad. |
A new child to most parents is always a joyous occasion (or at least it should). This is especially true to parents who adopt (I am speaking from experience). However, the illustrations in this book depict nothing but sadness. All the characters look as if there is some deep sadness lingering inside. No one smiles... no one celebrates. The words are slightly more joyous than the images, but as they say, "a picture paints a thousand words."
The other sad aspect of this story is that there is no adoptive father. I know that a dad doesn't have to be present to make an adoption legal, but it leads to a sad life for the child if there isn't a dad. Dads are very important, and this book downplays the importance of that role.
The book as a whole is very sad. |
