Book Synopsis

The husband-and-wife team behind this book drew on their own adoptive daughter’s experience in creating this accessible, appealing story celebrating the love of families everywhere.

When it’s Cassidy-Li’s turn to be Star of the Week at school, the spunky kindergartener gets to create a poster about herself.
