About this title

Review:

"This introduction to adoption for very young children stands out in its clear, accessible approach to a topic that many adults may still find difficult to address . . . A valuable resource to help explain their backgrounds to adopted children or to introduce the concept to anyone wondering about adoption."--Kirkus Reviews

"A simple, conversational text and loads of colorful, engaging photos broadly cover how and why families are formed through adoption. . . . Young children . . . will find the straight-forward discussion reassuring and easy to understand."--Horn Book Magazine

"With beautiful, close-up color photos of loving families on every page, this joyful celebration of adoption also addresses the questions many adopted children want to talk about . . . Kids will want to talk about all the big issues, starting with those int their own families."--Booklist

"[a] clear and reassuring introduction to the topic of adoption."--Publishers Weekly

"Rotner's experience as a photojournalist is evident in her excellent compositions and vibrant images of children playing, laughing, and smiling with their new adoptive families. . . . The language is nonjudgmental and empathetic."--School Library Journal
