So B. It



So B. It by Sarah Weeks is about a girl who grows up with a mentally disabled mother. Her neighbor Bernadette helps her with her mother, but it still make growing up hard. As the story goes on, Heidi decides she wants to go meet her father. She knows exactly who he is and here he is, or at least that's what's she's hoping. Each chapter of the book is titled with one of the twenty-three words her mother could say:
Heidi
So be it
Good
No
Blue
Soof
Out
Hot
Bad
Done
Shh
Uh-oh
Back soon
Hello
Dette
Tea
Go
Ow
More
Again
Pretty
Now
Kiss

Each word is tied into what the chapter is about as you watch Heidi search for her father.
