REVIEWED BY: Katie Hines
This beautifully illustrated book about interracial adoption follows the story of a poppy seed that couldn’t thrive and grow in its host environment. Through a journey, the poppy seed comes to rest, grow and blossom in a flower bed where there were other flowers of different types.
Just as a child is incorporated with joy into a new adoptive home, so was this poppy welcomed and allowed to thrive and grow in her new home of rainbow flowers. The book treats the subject of interracial adoption with tender, loving gentleness. A must read with your adopted, biracial child.

Sounds like an important book. Interracial adoption isn't easy. It's good to see books to help the children. Good post!
Terrific review! Adoption on any level is difficult, but interracial is difficult...my sister has had huge success!
Sounds like a terrific book; a must-read in todays blended families. I, too, write multi-cultural books for tweens with a twist; historical paranormal mysteries. Would love for you to review the book with an interview. Thanks, L S
Sounds like a good book to fill a needed gap.
