Susana Lopez

The Best Family in the World by Susana Lopez, illustrated by Ulises Wensell. This is a simple story of a little orphan who dreams about the amazing new family she's going to have....when they show up, they're not exotic or exciting or wildly indulgent, as they are in her dreams; but they're HER family and she loves them. I like the imaginative different families. The art isn't my favorite style - something about the faces perhaps? But that's just me and I do love the tigers!....This would be a fun one for a family storytime or maybe to read to an adoptive child. Or just for fun, to imagine the different kinds of families you could have.
