Book Reviews of I Love You Like Crazy Cakes
Book Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is from Russia, but she knows this story by heart. She can tell me exactly what that baby was missing: a Mama! Sara knows that this is her story too, just a slightly different place. This book has meant a lot to everybody who has read it, both adoptive and non-adoptive families. It is perfect for children of single-parent families, especially if they have a child from a foreign country. I especially love the part where the mother speaks of her baby's birth-mother with such love. That is exactly how I feel.Book Review: From My Own Experience
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: Our story too!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first few times I read this book, I could not finish it without crying. As a single mother of an adopted daughter from China, this is our story too. Lewis tells the story of a single woman in search of a baby to love in a simple, picturesque way. Charming enough for young readers (like my 2 year old daughter) and eloquent enough for all ages. A great gift to give to anyone who adopted a daughter from China or to share with your kids who are curious about your friend's Chinese daughter.Book Review: A special story for special children
Summary: 5 Stars
As a single adoptive mom of a baby girl from Russia, I've struggled to find a book appropriate for our unique family of two. Most of the international adoption books are geared to two- parent families who adopt because of fertility issues. For me, adoption was the way I chose to make my family. The book handles a sensitive subject in an age appropriate way. The illustrations are gorgeous and it will help me talk with my daughter when she's old enough to understand how special she is.Book Review: A charming and meaningful children's book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book tells the story, in sweet prose and art, of a mother and child brought together from opposite corners of the world. It is a worthwhile purchase for any parent of a young child, not just adoptive parents with children from China. Adults interested in this topic would do well to read Karin Evans' book, The Lost Daughters of China, which is linked to this book below.***
