My New Mom & Me
Renata Galindo, illustrated by Renata Galindo
A puppy narrates his first experiences after coming to live with an adoptive mother who is a striped cat. Nervous at first, he discovers that he has his own room and that his new mother cares for him, including when her rules make him angry. The puppy worries that they look different and paints stripes on himself to match her. His mother gently removes the paint and tells him that she likes their differences. Their story recognizes the uncertainty and adjustment faced by both a child and parent in a new family.
