In Rose Lewis's follow-up to I LOVE YOU LIKE CRAZY CAKES,
readers watch as her real life daughter, Alexandra Mae-Ming
Lewis, celebrates her first birthdays.
After being adopted from China, Alexandra comes home with
her new mother to America. There are a number of relatives
who come to visit, bringing presents and wanting to catch a
glimpse of the new arrival.
From her first birthday surrounded by friends and family, to her
fifth birthday spent watching the dragon boat festival, we watch
as Alexandra explores the world around her, and even
becomes a US citizen.
And each year, on her birthday, her mother thinks about the
place that her daughter left behind, and even the mother who
gave birth to her -- and gives thanks for the joy and love that
she has been blessed with.
Once again, Jane Dyer's beautiful illustrations perfectly
illustrate Rose and Alexandra's story, which is sure to delight
both children and parents alike.
