Customer Reviews

Excellent story: a mixed race family without a "race" focus

A lovely book that depicts a normal day of a little girl who is at home in bed with the flu. Her family just happens to be mixed race and this is portrayed normally with no focus on race at all. This book is a favourite of my children: the little girl in the story who is not feeling well keeps thinking that the footsteps she is hearing, are those of her mother returning home. The great anticipation that all children feel when waiting for a parent's arrival will make this book a favorite of children everywhere.
