STAR OF THE WEEK: A STORY OF LOVE, ADOPTION, AND BROWNIES WITH SPRINKLES

 This week Cassidy-Li will be Star of the Week at school! As she starts collecting photos for her poster she realizes she doesn’t have one of her birth parents. “I think about my birth parents a lot. Sometimes I miss them.” Cassidy-Li’s questions and longing go into a picture she draws for her poster as a way of including her birth parents. With realistic text and illustrations, Star of the Week is an adoption book that addresses the feeling of loss, too.
