I Love You Like Crazy Cakes
Mother-love is profound, however a baby comes into a woman's life. For  Rose Lewis, the journey to motherhood begins with a letter to Chinese officials,  asking if she can adopt from the "big room with lots of other babies." The  infants in that room in China are each missing a mother, but Lewis is missing  something, too--a baby. She travels to China to meet her new little girl and  falls head over heels in love. Taking her baby home to America, Lewis introduces  her to all her family and friends, and they begin their life together.A touching love story,I Love You Like Crazy Cakeswill warm the cockles  of any new parent's heart, especially those who have recently adopted a child.  It's an ideal story for lap-time reading, and will inspire parents and kids to  talk about their own first "meetings," whether at birth or in an adoption  agency. Jane Dyer, illustrator of the bestsellingTime for Bedby Mem Fox,Oh My Baby, Little Oneby Kathi  Appelt, and many other marvelous picture books, uses a pastel palette of  watercolors to capture the tender moments between the American mom and her  rosy-cheeked Chinese baby.
