Summary: A beautiful, tender story--I weep each time I read it.
Review: I first read this story when I picked it up on a whim at the Library. When I read it to my little girl, I wept. It is a touching and lovely story. Recently, my best friend asked me to check out her wish list on Amazon. I Love you Like Crazy Cakes topped her list. She and her husband are attempting to adopt a little girl from China. They have been on a long journey to become parents and the best part is yet to come for them. I purchased it and when it arrived my daughter asked me to read it. Again, I wept. Such a touching story. You do not need to have adoped a little girl to be moved by this book---being human is enough. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: An Excellent Addition to Any Family's Library
Review: One of my favorite roles as a parent is introducing my children to families of many types. In "I Love You Like Crazy Cakes", my children can understand that sometimes Mommys and Babies become a family by being united via airplanes and adoption officials and guess what? The amazing love is the same. I especially loved that the author shared the gratitude and love for the "other" mother who provided the gift of this baby into her life. Beautifully stated and at times, overlooked. The illustrations must be mentioned also: they are stunningly beautiful with the emotions of the subjects literally entering my heart from the page.

Summary: Our story too!
Review: The first few times I read this book, I could not finish it without crying. As a single mother of an adopted daughter from China, this is our story too. Lewis tells the story of a single woman in search of a baby to love in a simple, picturesque way. Charming enough for young readers (like my 2 year old daughter) and eloquent enough for all ages. A great gift to give to anyone who adopted a daughter from China or to share with your kids who are curious about your friend's Chinese daughter.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: This is a wonderful book for children. We still have yet to buy it, but my sister is 3 and a China adoptee...she loves it! We read it EVERY time we go to the book store and we have also gotten it from the library. The pictures in the book are wonderful and it's a sweet, sweet story. Even though it's short it's very touching! I'd recommend it for any child adopted from China, as well as other places, actually it's a great story for anyone adopted or not! I think my sister will be finding it under the Christmas tree this year!
