Mommy, Why?
Lin Fong-O'Neill
Paperback
(AuthorHouse, Sept. 2, 2005)
I wrote this book to inspire children and parents to be open-minded and to respect diversity. The conversation between seven-year-old Anna and her mother who are Asian covers differences in appearance, family, culture, disability, marriage and love. The dialogue is direct and loving; Anna learns to understand and value her being different from others, and that appreciating their being different is a good way to grow up. Children, parents and teachers will enjoy reading this book.
