Ieronimo, Christine

Illustrated by
Eric Velasquez.
Alemitu (later Eva) is brought from Ethiopia to the U.S. because her birth mother wants her to have a better life where food and clean water are available. Based on Ieronimo's experience as an adoptive mother, the inspirational story is handsomely illustrated with strong mixed-media and oil paintings, but the narration suffers from overly flowery language. An author's note on water is appended.
