The Red Blanket

32 pp. | Scholastic | May, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-439-32253-7 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. A red baby blanket is the focal point of the story a single mother tells about her daughter's adoption from China. During their first day together, baby PanPan was inconsolable until her mother gave her the blanket. Now, years later, PanPan still treasures it. The oil illustrations for this poignant story, depicting a tousle-headed baby, are affecting but not romanticized.
