"Through Mo, Adrienne Ehlert Bashista expresses the longing and confusion that may surround an older child’s adoption, particularly during the wait between meeting his new parents and going home. Mishka: An Adoption Tale (DRT Press), with illustrations by Miranda Mueller, will be a wonderful addition to your bookshelf, and it is an excellent companion to Bashista’s first book, When I Met You.

We loved Mishka: An Adoption Tale. This uniquely insightful tale provides a tool for parents and children alike to express and understand how it feels during that wonderfully scary time of completing the adoption process. Mishka's questions are every adopted child's: Where are we? Are we home? Where are you going? Are you ever coming back? It so closely paralleled the thoughts and feelings of our own adoption it was amazing. Destined to become a classic in adoption literature, Mishka
is a must read for every child adopted from Russia."
