Books like I Love You Like Crazy Cakes

As an adoptive parent, I am always on the search books to help reinforce or validate my children's experience with adoption.My daughter loved the illustrations, and could really connect with the story as it was similar to her own in many ways.Although we are a 2 parent family, I was pleased to find this story shared from a single adoptive mother's view, as that is so rarely the case with adoption books.I would note a word of caution to those anticipating sharing it with your adopted child, however.While some children love the story, many others in our adoption group were not emotionally ready to deal with the sadness in the last few pages, as the adoptive mother reflects and thinks about the birth mother and her losses.Read it first, and then think about how your own child might react to the content and delivery.Overall, a great read for young children to familiarize them with adoption as a valid family choice, with caution to be aware of their readiness or emotional reactions.
