The Mommy Orphanage Emily Krass

The Mommy Orphanage is a charming children's book told through a conversation between a young girl and her adoptive mother. When the little girl poses the question, "What if instead of an orphanage where kids without families live, there was an orphanage where all the moms who want kids live?", the mother asks, "If you went to the Mommy Orphanage today, would you still pick me to be your mom?". At times funny, and at times touching, this book reinforces the bond between a parent and an adopted child, in an unique tale told from the child's point of view.
