This Media Monday is going to be a little different. We just checked out a book at the library today called "I love you, stinky face" by Lisa McCourt. I wasn't sure what to think about it, but as soon as I started to read it....I loved it!
Here is a brief summary from goodreads.com: The imaginative boy turns himself into a meat-eating dinosaur, a swamp creature, and much more before being satisfied with the fact that no matter how stinky or slimy of a creature he could be, he is loved and nothing will change that.
Since today is Valentine's Day and we are all thinking about love, this book shows exactly what love is. Love doesn't change. It is a constant, always there. It doesn't come by looking exactly like someone, or by having the same genetics. Anyone that has experienced a marriage of their siblings, or their own marriage, knows that love comes out of a commitment to serve and help each other, and a deep concern for ones well-being. That is exactly the case in adoption as well. We will love the child we adopt as much as the our adorable son and that is one constant they can count on. It will never change, no matter what.
We loved this book and hope you will too!
