Shaoey and Dot
Reviewed by Amy B
Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman have written a book for children called Shaoey and Dot. The colorful and detailed illustrations are by Mary Beth's brother, Jim Chapman.
The main characters of this touching story are Dot, a caring ladybug, and Shaoey, an abandoned baby girl. The story begins with Dot finding the baby and accompanying her on the journey to the orphanage. After a few weeks, they discover a family has come to adopt Shaoey. The two friends continue and end their journey together in a new home in another country.
The inspiration for this story is the Chapman family's own experience adopting the first of three little girls from China. It is such a sweet story, is very easy to read and captivated my rambunctious three-year-old boy.
You can find more details about Shaoey And Dot: Bug Meets Bundle, by Mary Beth Chapman, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Jim Chapman here.
