DJ’s Lullaby - A Mother’s Love Song, correctly
named, is really a story of a woman who desired to have a child and when she
received the child through adoption, her praise and thanksgiving is recited for
the child in the form of a lullaby and poetic prose.
Written by Lucy Rivas Enriquez, DJ’s Lullaby is a
heartwarming and endearing story which speaks especially to the hearts of
adopted children and those in foster care with a specific message at its core;
love. It teaches that though a child may be adopted, he/she is just as special
as children born in what’s considered ‘the normal family structure’. The book
sends a wonderful message of love to children and shows that a mother is the
one who chooses to love you no matter your circumstance.
DJ’s Lullaby is a ‘Mommy and me book’ that is wonderful
for a bedtime story or for those special moments of bonding between mother and
child. The poem written at the end of the book speaks of a child being a
blessing sent by God and presents love as a key universal ingredient which is a
part of all families even if it’s a family that grows through adoption.
The illustrations are creative further reflecting
and expanding the story; and they are child-like, giving the book a rewarding reading
experience.
Happy Reading!
