The Buzz on Books Book of the Week # 8

The 4 books chosen for this week are fun family reads. The first book, My Family is Forever was written by Nancy Carlson. This book is a subtle book about adoption. The narrator describes how her parents wanted a child to love, and how even though she and her parents are not biologically related, they are still very similar and have an incredible amount of love for each other.

The second book is titled 31 Uses for a Mom, by Harriet Ziefert. As the title says, the book lists 31 things that mothers do for their children. The list mentions everything from being a bottle opener to a fixer-upper to a bank, mothers do all kinds of things for their children, and are awesome for it!

The Daddy Book by Todd Parr is similar to the previous book, but talks about fathers and how they interact with children. "Some daddies like to build sand castles... Some daddies like to cover you in sand." Some daddies should read this book with their children.

Finally, When I Am a Sister by Robin Ballard is a book that explains how it will be once the expected baby is finally born. The soon-to-be older sister asks questions as to how things will soon be, and her papa reassures her that everything will be perfectly fine, although some changes will have to be made.

Stop in to the Children's Place of the Twinsburg Public Library today for these and many more books about families.
