I'm of two minds about this book. I wanted to look for something for Mikavr's BC baby shower, and this book was in my church thrift shop.

Yes, it's not brand new, but it's in really good shape.

On the one hand, I know that Precious Moments isn't everyone's cup of tea and the text can get a little preachy in spots, the presumption is that there's a "traditional" family (mother + father + child), and the illustrations are almost exclusively Caucasians - perhaps not the best thing for a little girl from Ethiopia.

On the other hand, the pictures are just so darn cute they're hard to resist (lots of cute critters as well as kiddies), there are a lot of good lessons in here, and it's a nice sturdy binding (cleaned up great). I'll be sending a couple of small Hawaii-themed board books to go with this so there will be some balance. I have to say that I don't remember ever being bothered by the predominance of people who didn't look like me (meaning non-Asians) in my storybooks...so maybe it will be ok.

I'll send it to Mikavr and it will be her choice whether or not she wants to keep it for Charlie. I'm fine either way.

Mailed today to Mikavr to help her celebrate her wonderful news. :D

(Some BC'ers threw her a virtual baby shower; there are some photos here.)

Thank you so much for welcoming Charlie home! My heart is bursting with gratitude for you BC'ers and the lovely shower you threw for me. Thank you, thank you!

PS This looks like a big fat treasure! thanks for your thoughtfulness about the exclusive caucasian illustrations, etc. Very thoughtful. I think Charlie will have a mixture of all ethnicities around her, at all times, including caucasian. So it's fine. Plus they are really cute.

8 years later, it's time to re-home/release this book. It's been lovingly cared for in my daughter's bookcase for all this time, and read on several occasions while putting her to bed. Thank you again, dear Bookcrossers, I haven't been around but I still love the idea of this site and tell readers about it.
