Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell come together once again to create a unique celebration of the love and joy a baby brings into the world. This is a heartwarming story, not only of how one child is born but of how a family is born.
This is a sweet story about a young girl asking her mother and father to tell her the family story about the night she was born. The book, written by actress Jamie Lee Curtis, recounts the process of the little girl being adopted and joining a new family. There is a lot of love and affection demonstrated on each page through words, and the humorous illustrations bring the story to life.
Your child will enjoy following along in the book and will ask a lot of questions about the book's subject matter. Physically, the book is made of thicker cardboard and is the perfect size for your child to flip through the pages. The story will also provide greater understanding about adoption, and the positive message of love will certainly resonate with you and your child.
I was adopted as a baby and was very touched by this particular story. As I was growing up, I remember being sometimes confused by what adoption exactly meant. For parents, this can be a tricky topic to discuss, but this story is so gentle and positive that it is bound to be reassuring and informative for a child. The themes of family in combination with the funny drawings will make this a popular title for any child.
