What's Horace About

Publisher Summary

Horace is adopted. He is also spotted, and he is loved and cared for by his new mother and father–who are striped. But…Horace feels the need to search out his roots…Keller deals with a sensitive subject in a way that is perceptive but not sentimental.–Publishers Weekly. A first choice for those families seeking a low-key, reassuring book about adoption–and one that is fun to share as well.–Horn Book.
