I recently reacquainted with a beautiful middle-grade novel about adoption that I’d sadly forgotten about until I discovered it on my bookshelf a few weeks ago: I See the Moon by C.B. Christiansen (Aladdin Paperbacks, 1996).

It’s the coming-of-age story of a twelve-year-old girl named Bitte, who is writing the book to the unborn baby that her older, teen sister Kari is expecting. This tender story of significance for the adopted child is Bitte’s gift to her niece — to share her birth story, show her how deeply they are connected, and talk about the meaning of love.

This is a lovely quick read about giving a baby up for adoption. As an adoptee myself it was heart warming to read about from a different perspective.

Hat nicht so viel mit mir gemacht.

Ho letto questo libro alle medie, e l'unica cosa che mi ricordo è che ho impiegato tre ore a terminarlo e che mi ha fatto piangere molto, cosa molto insolita per la mia IO di quei tempi. Non perchè non piangessi ma perchè non leggevo niente.

Bitte is so excited when she finds out her sister is pregnant. But she then soon finds out her sister wants to put the baby up for adoption. This is a beautiful story and well written. This is for a little older kids but it still is a great book that pulls on your heart.

I read this like 2 weeks ago when I couldnt sleep. It was boring and very uninteresting. I dont reccomend

Emotional and excellent. I don't usually cry when I read, but this book had me choked up on every page and then I cried through the last 3 chapters. So good.

I loved it. It was definitely not what I expected it to be about, but when I started to read it I was hooked. It's so relate-able, and hard to put down.
