Kiwi Magazine Review

Break out the tissues for this lovely poem about the two sides of love: the love of a birth and an adoptive mother. “Once there were two women who never knew each other. One you do not know. The other you call mother.” Richly illustrated and deeply touching, this book will span decades.
