24. Star of the Week [picture]

By: Darlene Friedman
Illustration by: Roger Roth
Genre: Children's picture book
Subgenre: Realistic Fiction
Theme: Adoption and loving families
Primary characters: Cassidy-Li
Awards: N/A
Date of Publication: 2009
Publishing Company: The Bowen Press
Summary: Cassidy-Li is chosen for the start of the week at school. She is excited about presenting a poster for her classroom. As she begins her project she realizes that she does not have a picture of her birth parents. Her adopted parents love her very much and give her the idea to draw a picture of her birth parents. She is excited and draws the photos. This is a touching story about an adoptive family relationship. I have two cousins adopted from China and this book would be great for them. This book would be useful in class to show other children that all families are not alike. Children need to be aware of diversity in the home and this book is great for that topic.
