Book Reviews of A Blessing from Above (Little Golden Book)
Book Review: Wonderful Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being an adoptive mother myself, I have searched and searched for good books to teach about adoption. I have a good many titles in my library. No other book is as heartfelt as this one. This book is about a kangaroo with an empty pouch who longs to be a mother. As she is sitting under a tree, she spies a bluebird nest STUFFED full of baby bluebird eggs. As the bluebirds hatch, the nest is so full that a baby falls from the nest to the kangaroo's pouch. The mother bluebird looks down at her baby and knows that her nest is not big enough for all of her chicks and is happy that her littlest one is in such a warm and cuddly place.
I totally disagree with the previous poster who went as far as to say that this book did not discuss the mother's reasoning enough and this was perhaps kidnapping. The book states that the nest is too crowded and stuffed full with bluebirds. The book also states that the mother bluebird knew her nest was not big enough for all of her chicks and she was happy to see her baby in a warm and cuddly place.
This is a story of a mother's selfless love to know when enough is enough and to do the best she can for ALL of her children.
If you are planning on adopting, thinking about adopting, want to introduce the concept of adoption or just want to read a wonderfull book about family and LOVE, this is the book for you!
I stongly recommend this book.
Summary of A Blessing from Above (Little Golden Book)
Every night before she goes to sleep, a kangaroo prays under the stars for a baby to love and hold. One day, as she rests under a tree, a baby bird falls out of its crowded nest?plop!?right into her pouch!Now, every night before they fall asleep, Momma-Roo and Little One thank God for all their blessings . . . but especially for each other.
The book closes with a quote from Ephesians 1:5: ?In love he destined us for adoption to himself. . . .?
