Paperback. When parents adopt a new child into their family, the children they already have will inevitably ask questions-and, if the adopted child is of a different race or from a different country, creed, or culture, the questions will be big ones, and they may prove tough to answer. But answering these questions is crucial, not just for the sake of the child, or children, who ask them, but also for their adopted sibling, the family as a whole, and the larger communities they are a part of. If you, or someone you know, are faced with these big questions from your kids, let My Sister Abby serve as an enlightening and empowering resource to ease you through what may otherwise be a difficult explanation. Short, sweet, and simple, the story follows two sisters in a multicultural adoptive family and explores both the superficial differences and deeper similarities between them, focusing on how what sets them apart is insignificant as compared to what ties them together. This title was written by a mother of twelve, who adopted five of her children from Liberia, West Africa, and it was inspired by the close, loving relationship between her daughters, Emma and Abby. My Sister Abby follows two sisters in a multicultural adoptive family and explores both the superficial differences and deeper similarities between them, focusing on how what sets them apart is insignificant as compared to what ties them together. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
