This is a great children's book that deals with a very important issue, adoption. Many people know someone who has been affected by adoption, which could make this book very helpful to many people. This picture book does a good job of taking a serious issue and making it relateable to school-aged children.
This book could be a useful tool for any teacher. Discussing adoption in a classroom might be a sensitive subject for some students, and so it is good to be aware of this when discussing the topic. This book could be read aloud to a class followed with a discussion about adoption and what the class knows about it, and how it affects peoples lives. Questions to ask might be: What does Allison see in the mirror? How did the cat help her understand her own family?
