I would like to ask you a question. Did you know National Adoption Month happens in November? I didn’t even though I know a couple people who were adopted. I would like to share Author Tracy Banghart’s debut picture book LOVE LIKE CHOCOLATE which is the perfect story to share with readers looking for new narratives on adoption and family traditions. Check out my review here.
Inspired by the author’s adoption of her daughter—and by her grandmother’s chocolate sauce recipe— LOVE LIKE CHOCOLATE is a heartwarming story of a young boy who teaches his new adopted sister about the family’s old traditions, while learning how to create new ones of their own. Beautiful illustrations by Alina Chau bring this deliciously sweet story and its mouthwatering desserts to life on the page.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Love Like Chocolate
As a family welcomes an adopted little girl to their home, her brother takes it upon himself to teach his new sister their traditions. For good days and bad, for birthdays, holidays, and everything in between, their family always celebrates with Chocolate.
They make super chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Spring, very-Berry Chocolate-Cherry Mousse in the Summer, Chocolate Banana Pancakes in the fall, and warm Chocolate Sauce in the Winter. But the boy soon realizes that his sister might have favorite treats of her own, and that if they work together, they can create new traditions and memories together.
