Becoming Naomi Leon
| Book Talk: Naomi keeps a list of ‘possible moms’ – 1) volunteer, 2) business woman, 3) plant nursery owner – and daydreams about having the perfect mother visit
her school. When their real mother appears after seven years, Naomi and Owen are
confused. They love Gram and feel safe living with her but they’ve always wondered
how life would be with a mother. She buys Naomi new clothes. Owen gets a bicycle.
It’s scary for Naomi to think of leaving the life she knows to live with this stranger, but is
afraid that maybe she should. And then, their mother shows them her unfriendly side.
