Baba remembered this book as we were packing. We ordered it for Rachel before we first held her even. It tells her story. It is about a woman who adopts a little girl and before traveling to China to get her lil Pan Pan - she purchases this red blanket that she saw in a department store. Red symbolizes China. This Mommy worked on crocheting this blanket for Rachel before, on the actual plane ride to and while in China. How fitting that I finished the blanket while there - our journey to Rachel had finally ended as well. I lhope that she will have & cherish this blanket all of her life and maybe even hand it down to my grandchildren.
