Editorial Review:
The true love that inspires adoption is revealed as a birthmother opens her heart while adoptive parents open their arms for a child. The Tummy Mummy's journey is guided by a wise and majestic owl who leads the reader along a path of deeper understanding, honoring all members of the adoption triad. The Tummy Mummy is the first children's book, in the Adoption Means Love series, inspiring children of adoption as it sensitively and beautifully portrays the thoughts and feelings of birthmothers and adoptive parents. The book promises to be an adoption classic for generations to come.
The Tummy Mummy Reviews:
The Tummy Mummy 
2007-05-28 - I have looked for this book for several years and was excited to find it on your web site. This book is expertly written and will be cherished by our family for years to come. We purchased 2 and will send the second book to our sons "Tummy Mummy".
We like the Tummy Mummy 
2006-11-14 - As adoptive parents of a 30 month old daughter, we have added this book to our collection of many books, including some about adoption. While my daughter likes the words "Tummy Mummy", and some of the illustrations, she is too young to grasp the concept of adoption. I do love how my daughter exclaims "They want to hold the baby!" when she sees the picture of the adoptive parents greeting the Tummy Mummy and baby with outstretched arms. The prose is a bit stange to me. Sometimes it rhymes, sometimes it doesn't. I do like the calm 'feel' of the book, but I think it borders on somber. I am glad it is in our collection, but it is not our favorite book at this stage. For our little one, "A Mother for Choco" is more appropriate.
an adoption book for children that includes first families!
2006-10-22 - The Tummy Mummy is one of the first books on adoption that we bought for our daughter. We were thrilled because it does connect a child with his/her birth family, which most children's books on adoption do not do. It is positive (maybe a tad too positive for some) and simple, while connecting all parts of the adoption triad. Very moving.
A Gentle Way of Describing Adoption
2006-07-03 - I bought this book for the daughter I placed in an open adoption. While it is not OUR story, it is a nice, gentle adoption story that portrays love for the child at all times. I know that no book written by another person is going to magically tell our exact story so this, in my opinion, happens to be the next best thing.
The Tummy Mummy is very sweet
2004-12-28 - The Tummy Mummy is a very sweet and loving look at adoption. The entire tone is of love and understanding. Most books are from the adoptive parent side and how happy they are to have the child with them. This gives the birth parent a voice and I think would go a long way in comforting young children who have been adopted. I really like this book!
