Title: Mother bird is a bad role model for adoptive families
Review: I simply don't understand why this book gets such great reviews. The artwork is good, but the "role model" that the mother bird represents is awful.She tells the baby bat that if she doesn't act like everyone else in her family, she can't live with them anymore. What a horrible thing to say to an adopted child! The mother bird gets credit for nourishing the baby bat, but nearly destroys the bat's identity in the process.The other baby birds are accepting of Stellaluna, so they also earn points, and I suppose the story has a happy ending in that Stellaluna and mother bat are reunited in the end, but being an adoptive parent, I have to take strong issue with the message presented by the mother bird.If you are an adoptive parent, beware of this book and its message.
