Review:

A young inter-racial couple is adopting. They’ve waited a long time for their little bundle and travel across the oceans to meet her. They already know how much they will love her and have prepared for her arrival. As she grows, they cherish the memories they’ve made and the loved they’ve shared.

This heartfelt story of adoption is gentle, and the colorful illustrations reflect the love with happy imagery and vibrant colors. Young readers will easily navigate the simple sentence structure and bouncy words. Parents and teachers can share this story with students and open up a discussion about adoption.
