Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Porcupette Finds a Family
Vanita Oelschlager · 2010
74/100
👍 Worth It
A warmly illustrated picture book for adopted and foster children that earns its endorsements from educators and child welfare professionals — the author's therapeutic background shows in how carefully the emotional territory is handled. Narrow in audience but genuinely valuable for the children and families it targets.
