Attachment Book!

I am so excited to have found this book!  This is a book that your adopted children from hard places can relate to!  It is the story about a little porcupine whose mother cannot take care of her any more (we never find out what exactly happened to the mother) and is adopted by a bear family.

Porcupette is very afraid that the bear family might go away and not come back also, and in her fear she gets all prickly with her new adoptive family.  Time after time Mother Bear is patient with her, goes after her when she runs away, and still loves her even as she is having to pull quills out of her own mouth and paws.

There is a good message in there for we moms to help us understand why our little ones get so "prickly" and there is a good message in there for the children that as they let their guard down and learn to trust they can find the happiness they are craving.  It is a wonderful picture of  attachment in an adoptive family.  Can I give this one SIX stars out of five?  I loved it so much!
