Awards and Reviews Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People, 2001 — Children’s Book Council, NSTA 2001 Honor Book — Society of School Librarians International "...a wonderful book that captivates, entertains, and educates the reader from cover to cover." Adoption Today "...celebrates family diversity in a truly interesting and constructive manner." = Friends Journal "...a good book for a teacher who just doesn’t understand that many families no longer fit the old mold!" — Jewish Children’s Adoption Network "...an authentic job of capturing the powerful responses adopted kids have to identity issues raised by this assignment...an important contribution." — PACT, An Adoption Alliance "A family tree is not simple for an adopted child, and Lucy's adoption from Mexico makes her feel different. Lucy's wise and sensitive parents encourage her to find a way to complete the assignment: they will release her from the obligation if she can find three families that are the 'same.' Lucy's discoveries provide profound insights for all readers and teachers." — Yellow Brick Road "A beautiful exploration of how one family lets their child figure out a problem for herself." — Maine Sunday Telegram "...a journey that leads the young girl and the book's readers to discover that few families fit the traditional image.... By the conclusion, Lucy feels better about her situation and has devised a way to create a family tree that honors both her birth parents and the parents who are raising her." — Pioneer Press •Helpful Lucy’s Family Tree links www.adopting.com www.adoptivefamilies.com www.familydiv.org http://www.adopting.comhttp://www.adoptivefamilies.comhttp://www.familydiv.orgshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1shapeimage_1_link_2
