 The Tummy Mummy May 28, 2007
Allyn Eldridge (Maine)
I have looked for this book for several years and was excited to find it on your web site. This book is expertly written and will be cherished by our family for years to come. We purchased 2 and will send the second book to our sons "Tummy Mummy".
 We like the Tummy Mummy November 13, 2006
Jennifer Hollister (Skippack, PA)
As adoptive parents of a 30 month old daughter, we have added this book to our collection of many books, including some about adoption. While my daughter likes the words "Tummy Mummy", and some of the illustrations, she is too young to grasp the concept of adoption. I do love how my daughter exclaims "They want to hold the baby!" when she sees the picture of the adoptive parents greeting the Tummy Mummy and baby with outstretched arms. The prose is a bit stange to me. Sometimes it rhymes, sometimes it doesn't. I do like the calm 'feel' of the book, but I think it borders on somber. I am glad it is in our collection, but it is not our favorite book at this stage. For our little one, "A Mother for Choco" is more appropriate.
an adoption book for children that includes first families! October 22, 2006
Robin L. Sewell (United States)
The Tummy Mummy is one of the first books on adoption that we bought for our daughter. We were thrilled because it does connect a child with his/her birth family, which most children's books on adoption do not do. It is positive (maybe a tad too positive for some) and simple, while connecting all parts of the adoption triad. Very moving.
A Gentle Way of Describing Adoption July 3, 2006

I bought this book for the daughter I placed in an open adoption. While it is not OUR story, it is a nice, gentle adoption story that portrays love for the child at all times. I know that no book written by another person is going to magically tell our exact story so this, in my opinion, happens to be the next best thing.
The Tummy Mummy is very sweet December 28, 2004
Dr. Letitia S. Wright (Rancho Cucamonga, CA)

The Tummy Mummy is a very sweet and loving look at adoption. The entire tone is of love and understanding. Most books are from the adoptive parent side and how happy they are to have the child with them. This gives the birth parent a voice and I think would go a long way in comforting young children who have been adopted. I really like this book!
