A Doll Like My Mommy Beth E. Houghtaling

A Doll Like My Mommy is the celebration of an interracial family. It depicts each family member's uniqueness while acknowledging their inherent similarities. This book is filled with images of loving interaction between all members of this racially diverse family, including aunts, uncles and grandparents. "We are as different as different can be and yet on the inside they are just like me because we belong in the same family" is the recurrent theme throughout this beautifully illustrated, playfully rhymed story.
