It is an easy book for most kids, but it has an important message. The book is written from a birth mother's point of view which I think is pretty unique. It tells the honest and complicated life story of many adoptees. The pictures are very nice, too. I think it is a good book because sometimes we might forget that birth mothers have difficult decisions and may feel sad about those decisions. One of my favorite parts is how the author describes China. It is a beautiful place! --Sara,9,Oct./Nov.2007 Issue of Mei MagazineWritten from a birth mom's perspective, Letter Of Love From China by Bonnie Cuzzolino, paints a loving and respectful picture of a child's relinguishment in China. Through vivid and colorful illusration, combined with clear, simple language with appeal to all ages, Letter Of Love From China has a poignant yet uplifting message. So often parents struggle with positive ways to answer questions and communicate about why their child was abandoned in China. This book will help parents answer these questions and communicate the heartfelt and loving choice that a birth mom in China makes, and the cultural context behind this decision.It depicts the relinguishment for what it is, a selfless act of love. --Beth Smith,MS Director of Services, China Program, Holt International
