After a while, she decides, “Forget this! I’m going to find my guy!” and promptly crashes to the ground as she trips over her own unsteady and immature legs. She glances this way and that and sits patiently for a bit. When she opens her bright young eyes expecting a beautiful version of the world, she discovers to her dismay that the place where her soul mate should be waiting is shockingly vacant. But, alas – this is not the case (if it were, there would be no story, would there?). He is supposed to have returned and be waiting when the love of his life is ready for him. So the barely-bearded boy flies south to who-knows-where in order to gain experiences and emotionally prepare for a healthy life with his future spouse. These kids are immature and need to grow up. One sunny morning in heaven, a ridiculously perfect soul is split into two: a shy, sweet girl and an adventurous boy. Here’s the deeper story that Eastman was trying to present: After many adventures and failed attempts, the chick and her mother happily reunite. The baby bird, however, hatches before she returns and, after a painful descent to the ground, commences an epic search for her mother. She realizes that her baby is about to hatch and hurriedly flies into the distance in order to ready some food. The story line is simple: one morning, a mother bird feels her egg shaking. Eastman book, Are You My Mother? is really an instruction manual on how to navigate the Jewish dating world written in the guise of a children’s book.
