Book Reviews of The Red Blanket
Book Review: sweet story
Summary: 5 Stars
The Red Blanket is a very sweet picture book about adoption. This is written instory form from adopted mother to her child. She tells the story of how she was lonley and wanted a child to share her life with. She plans everything out and buys items for her new baby. The items include a special red balnket. The blanket is loney and has been in the children's shop for a long time. The mother feels like it has been waiting for a special child. She goes to China and adopts the baby girl. At first the bay is unsure of the new mother. But she gives the baby the blanket and things go better for them both.This is a great picture book to teach young children that sometimes Mommys and Babies become a family by adoption.
We recommend this book to children ages 1-4. The book is short enough to keep their attention and has a great story line as well.
Summary of The Red Blanket
A touching and beautiful adoption story that reveals the challenges as well as the joys of forming a new family.
This is a story about a little girl who needed a mommy
and a forgotten blanket that needed a little girl
and a woman who needed them both.
This is a journey about the forming of a family.
It is as lyrical as a love letter from a mother to her daughter,
as honest as the struggles they encounter,
and as comforting as a cozy red blanket.
Eliza Thomas went to China in 1994 to adopt her daughter PanPan, who was then 5 months old. This is their story.
