A Multicultural ABC Adoption Picture Book

From Midwest Book Review: “Truly a multiple-award winning book about the experience of adoption, “ABC, Adoption & Me” breaks new ground in the field of adoption experience integration. Useful for children, families, caretakers, and teachers, “ABC, Adoption & Me” offers positive presentations of many common experiences shared by adoptive children and families. Prefaced by a helpful introduction titled How to Use ABC, Adoption & Me, this cheery, vivid color illustrated ABC book focuses on special topics related to adoption in a nonjudgmental and respectful way.

Some examples are, “C is for children. You can be adopted at any age, from tiny babies to teens,” or “M is for miss. Sometimes I miss my birth parents. I wonder if they miss me too.” Also memorable is “P is for parents. Birth parents gave me life. Adoptive parents gave me a (forever) family.” And finally, there is “Z is for zig zag. Sometimes I feel happy and sad about being adopted.”

Written by an adoptive mother daughter team, “ABC, Adoption & Me” uses bright cartoon illustrations to present interracial adoptive families and origin birth families with equal validity and authenticity, as well as many other adoption sensitive issues and topics.“ABC, Adoption & Me” deserves every single one of its many awards and should be a part of every child’s library.” http://www.midwestbookreview.com

Jodie, I’d be glad to send you a review copy. Would you like an electronic copy or paperback. As soon as you provide me your address, I’ll send it out. Thanks for your interest. I enjoyed participating in the Multicultural Picture Book Day event. Diversity is such an important priority.
