Book Reviews of Are You My Mother?
Book Review: traumatic and horrifying
Summary: 1 Stars
While i can understand the usefulness of this book for parents of adopted children, when i was little i thought it was just AWFUL!
I always hated that book, and it made me terrified of getting lost and not being able to find my mother (not that i was ever in any danger of being out of her sight for 1 minute...). I remember thinking that the story was cruel and calloused, and i felt so sorry for the poor baby birdie.
To this day (25 yrs later), my mother, sister and I, still joke about being traumatised by "are you my mother?", and refer to it as "that awful book".
If your kids like it, that's fine, but i will never buy this book for my kids.
