Book Reviews of Three Names of Me
Book Review: AMAZING!
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved this!! My daughter is 6 1/2 and she loved it too. She identified with the little girl in the book and continued to comment on how their lives were so alike. It's beautifully written and illustrated. I like that it looks like a chapter book, but is a bit shorter and how it's illustrated like a picture book - it really captures your eye and imagination. My daughter and I really loved the scrapbook section at the back too. Beautiful, it's a must read for any Chinese adoptee!Book Review: I Love This Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what I like better: the story or the illustrations. Both are soft, realistic, and this fabulous mix of the sweet-sad that comes with being adopted. Ada( who must be 7 or 8) writes the story and asks at the end " Have you ever made a scrapbook about you?"
A perfect segway into a lifebook. And you know how much I like lifebooks. :)

Book Review: Gorgeous art and beautiful story
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is also adopted from China. She just turned 9 years old and I got her this book for Christmas. We just read it together tonight and it is really beautiful. The paintings in the book are just amazing and she felt as though the story was about her and told how she felt. She LOVES the book. I highly recommend it. It's a special book to keep forever.Book Review: A scrapbook memoir format inviting kids to gather their own memories.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ada has three names: one given her at the Chinese orphanage, one by her American parents, and a third name whispered by her Chinese mother which is unknown to her. An easy first-person story of Ada's world is provided in a series of lovely full-page color drawings by Lin Wang and a scrapbook memoir format inviting kids to gather their own memories.Book Review: A great book
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this book along with several others that address Asian adoption. We have kept this one back to give to our daughter when she is a bit older and can grasp the concept of adoption better. Until then, we are using books geared more toward toddlers and early elementary school aged children.
