Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell have teamed up again to tell this
terrific story about adoption. This is a subject for too often over looked
for story subjects.
In this story
the little girl (Like most children.) wants her parents to tell her again
about the night she was born. The little girl already knows the story by
heart. She tells the story of the night she was born through her questions.
“Tell me again about the night I was born.” “Tell me again how the
phone rang in the middle of the night and they told you I was born. Tell me
again how you screamed.” “Tell me again how you couldn’t grow a baby
in your tummy, so another woman who was too young to take care of me was
growing me...” “Tell me again how you cried happy tears.” “Tell me
again about our first night as a family.” These are just some of the
questions that she asks. This is a vary unique and refreshing way to tell a
story.
Again,
Laura Cornell does a excellent job illustrating this story.
From illustrations of a photo is a photo album to a child’s drawing
of her family tree. They are all detailed bright and vibrant.
This story
will definitely be a cherished addition to your child’s book library or
school library. I recommend this story for preschoolers age 2 and up. A must
have book for any adopted child, friends of an adopted child. Also great for
teaching understand of other to children who are not adopted.
