This is a comforting bedtime story written with great tenderness by Leslėa Newman, the author of "Heather Has Two Mommies", and illustrated with beautiful pastel watercolors by Adriana Romo. It is a soothing lullaby of a book that children will want to hear again and again. In a story set in a loving family with two women as parents, a little girl asks for her favorite bedtime story, the tale of how she became part of the family. As Felicia asks questions and fills in the blanks, her two mothers playfully relate the tale of their decision to share their love by bringing her into their lives. The gentle, rhythmic text perfectly mirrors the give-and-take that occurs with preschoolers when parents extend the story: Did they decide to adopt a giraffe, a mouse, or a baby? Did they take a boat or a car to Guatemala to pick her up? Was she as small as a button or a cookie when she was a baby? In the cozy conclusion to her own story and the book itself, Felicia's two moms tell her that her name means "happy" in Spanish, a feeling shared by all. Each illustration is a piece of art framed by a stylistic geometric border reminiscent of stained glass. This is a joyful tale for all children who rejoice in sharing their own life story.
