## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good conversation starter.
*by B***N on October 13, 2014*

I really like this book, and more importantly, so does my 5-year old. The story focuses on the two basic things all adoptive families know for sure, regardless of their child's origin: that their child was born by a birth mother and that the child was adopted. The story is sweet and objective, not overly sentimental, which allows for the parents to add in their own information, as they read. The story is told partly from the perspective of a girl named Samantha and partly from the perspective of her parents, bringing out how loved and wanted an adopted child is. The story also pays attention to the fact that the child has physical features that were there from birth, and habits and behaviors that the child has grown into in the new family. This way, pre- and post-adoption history blend together. The illustrations are rich in detail, which allows for the young reader's mind to take a break from the story and simply focus on Samantha as a child who likes to play, draw etc. This story seems to be about a domestic adoption of a newborn, but it it's focus allows for some interpretation, especially since Samantha's voice in the story asks the reader about his or her own adoption story. There is a couple of pages that talk about baby pictures, which parents might want to be aware of, if their child does not have photos from the first years of life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best of the Adoption books I purchased
*by B***N on October 10, 2013*

This book will engage your child because the main character asks them questions about their own adoption story.My daughter was very responsive and we are able to "start a conversation", which is just what we needed to do.This is perhaps better for a child over the age of two.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for 4-7 year old kids
*by S***5 on February 29, 2020*

This is exactly what I wanted. Non-religious, explains difference between bio and adopted parents, very engaging. My child can't read so when I get to the part about hiring an adoption counselor I will change it to the social worker who told us about you. When she is older I can explain other ways of adoption.
