What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about their own stories of coming together by birth or adoption. What is your family like? If you were adopted, how do you feel about that?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Although this book is dedicated first and foremost to adoptive families, and though all adoptions are different and some adoptive families may not identify as much with the message of the book, every parent can appreciate its theme of generosity and love. Suffused with bright colors, the happy stick figures in the illustrations reflect the joy that comes from loving families. Even infants will delight in the brilliant hues -- deep blue skies, deep green grass, and people that come in purple, orange, and green.
