BOOK DESCRIPTION

In Assignment: Family Tree, We follow the journey of Maria, a young girl adopted as a child, who embarks on a unique exploration of the concept of family. Maria has always felt a sense of curiosity about her family, but she never anticipated the profound impact a simple school project would have on her life.

Tasked with creating a family tree for a school assignment, Maria finds herself grappling with questions of belonging and heritage. She shares her questions with Dr. Liz and her group of friends. However, instead of feeling discouraged, Maria and her friends see this as an opportunity to redefine what family means to them.

As Maria delves into her project, she begins to realize that family extends far beyond biological ties. The group recognizes the importance of the friendships they have formed and the bonds they share with extended family members, such as neighbors, and other caregivers who have played significant roles in their lives. Maria and her friends celebrate the diversity and richness of their families.

Assignment: Family Tree is a touching tale of love, identity, and the power of community. Through Maria's journey, readers are reminded that family is not defined by biology alone but by the bonds of love, support, and connection that unite us all.
