Reviews

[Hannah Atwood]

This is a story about a baby in China's adoption journey to her forever family in China. Written by an adoptive mother, it is heartwarming and talks about what the adoption process looks and how different families can come together. This would be a great book for read aloud to primary grades. This book could be used in the classroom to talk about how different families can come together and how not all families look alike. It would be especially helpful if a class had diversity of family types within your classroom.

Suchh a wonderful book to read to your children. My daughter began loving it at 3 and now 6 asks for it occassionally. An absolute must for any families with adopted children - expecially from China!
