The Red Blanket

The Red Blanket by Thomas, Eliza. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780439322539.

A touching and beautiful adoption story that reveals the challenges as well as the joys of forming a new family. This is a story about a little girl who needed a mommy and a forgotten blanket that needed a little girl and a woman who needed them both. This is a journey about the forming of a family. It is as lyrical as a love letter from a mother to her daughter, as honest as the struggles they encounter, and as comforting as a cozy red blanket. Eliza Thomas went to China in 1994 to adopt her daughter PanPan, who was then 5 months old. This is their story.
