Illustrated by
Christy Hale.
A mother explains that even though she doesn't look like her adopted daughter, she's still her "real" mother. Pausing for a very fleeting mention of the birth mother, the two discuss the many, sometimes amusing, ways the mother nurtures and shows her love for her child. The figures in the illustrations for this well-meaning book are often awkward and inconsistent.
