A Kids Book Celebrating Adoption
Fans of Jamie Lee Curtis' book, Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born, and Nancy Tillman's, On the Night You Were Born, will find their hearts captured again by the loving message and engaging prose in Wonderfully You.
The story follows a family of two dads and their daughter who want to further grow their family.Join them as they move through the adoption journey and experience:
- the hopefulness that accompanies the decision to adopt,
- the anticipation that comes with preparing for a new child,
- the uncertainty of "the wait,"
- the urgency felt in receiving the "birth call,"
- the deep appreciation for the decision made by birth parents,
- the elation of holding your child for the first time,
- the sense of family completeness as a result of the adoption process,
- and ultimately, the moments that fill parents with joy and pride in nurturing your child's growth and development.
Wonderfully You is a love note to children who've been adopted. This heartfelt story showcases transracial adoption through melodic rhyming narrative, which is complemented by beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations. Personal connection to adoption isn't necessary to feel the warmth and love that is the central message of this book. It is a perfect read-along for kids, grandkids, classrooms, those touched by adoption, and individuals looking for books that portray diverse families.
