These sentiments are brought to life again in this touching portrait of birthday celebrations and unforgettable moments between a mother and her little girl: from joyous hugs for a new puppy, to quiet nights gazing at the stars remembering a faraway family. Capturing the richness of both Chinese and American cultures, Every Year on Your Birthday is a poignant tribute to the growing bond of love only a parent and child can know. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wonderful way to celebrate a daughterI bought this book for a friend who has adopted a little girl. Both she and her 3 year old daughter love this book and read it over and over (not just on her birthday). Really sweet and true to life. Rating: - Another favorite in our collectionWe bought this for our dauther's 4th birthday and she LOVES it. I thought it could be too advanced compared to one of our other favorites, "Crazy Cakes."

Our girls, 4 & 7, enjoy all of the connections to Chinese culture and traditions, as well as watching the baby grow into a young girl as they have. They easily see themselves and their "story" in the main character. Parents likewise will not be disappointed with this story. Lewis ...

Read More Rating: - A beautiful story about adoptionReviewed by Olivia Alejandre (age 4) for Reader Views (1/08) Mom's review / summary: A must for all families who adopted from China, and probably for other adopted kids, too. This book beautifully presents the wonders of adoption and respect of the culture and background of the child's birthplace. The clothes, the artwork, and the story all seem to be in tune with Chinese culture. For other families, it's a wonderful way to explain the joys of adoption. We want to ... Read More Rating:  - Just O.K.This book is o.k., but the story gets a little too personal at times. It seems to be more of a story for the author's friends and relatives than the general public. My daughter also seems to lose interest pretty quickly in the story.
