This book is manner cute! Information technology's different than I idea information technology would exist-I was expecting it to be about how a baby was made pretty much and in some means it was merely in many ways information technology wasn't. This is the book about an adoption—a girl who was adopted asks her mom to tell her about the night she was built-in, and information technology goes through the whole process. The adoptive parents got the call in the middle of the dark, jumped on a plane, called their grandparents, and and then explains that the adoptive mother couldn't g This book is way beautiful! It'due south dissimilar than I thought it would exist-I was expecting information technology to be about how a baby was made pretty much and in some ways it was but in many ways information technology wasn't. This is the book about an adoption—a daughter who was adopted asks her mom to tell her about the night she was born, and it goes through the whole process. The adoptive parents got the telephone call in the middle of the nighttime, jumped on a plane, called their grandparents, and then explains that the adoptive mother couldn't grow a baby in her stomach and then another woman who was besides young to have care of the girl was growing her and she would exist the nascency mother but not the adoptive female parent. It shows them arriving at the hospital and seeing their babe for the first time, the baby (in actual size) for the showtime time and the first time that each held the babe and their first night with her. Towards the end the girl says "Tell me near our first night as a family." I thought this book was very sweet to read-I loved it! Though it was different than I thought, it was a adept dissimilar and I liked what I was reading. I thought the point of the volume was actually good and it would definitely be good to read when y'all're adopting a child or you've adopted ane. I liked the pictures equally well! This could exist used in your classroom when you're talking about families, or adoption, just I feel like it might be better used on a one-by-ane ground instead of reading information technology to your whole grade. I notwithstanding loved it though!

As a begetter of an adopted kid, this book makes me weepy. Every. Unmarried. Time. It is really a lovely account from a little girl of the nighttime she was born and adopted by her parents and really does capture what it is like. One of my favorite books to read to my girl.
A film-volume similar this i is important for adopted children to know at a young age. I say this from my own feel in being adopted. Information technology should not be something that is hidden or hard to talk about, every person has a right to know almost the mean solar day they were born— that does not hateful they are going to cease upward with difficult feelings. As long as the adoptive family continues to show love and intendance for their adopted child, that child is going to know that they are with the family unit they were meant to be w A picture-volume like this one is important for adopted children to know at a young age.

As long as the adoptive family continues to prove love and care for their adopted child, that child is going to know that they are with the family they were meant to be with. Families are not limited to but those in their household. Adoptive families tin can be combined with the biological families, if that is the type of adoption they chose. From personal experience, I say having the biological family at least known is amend— it is not fun growing upward without any information of what makes you You biologically, as everyone else effectually yous is able to practice so. ...more
I genuinely enjoyed reading this book and was excited to run into how the writer, Jamie Lee Curtis, was going to explain adoption. The volume is about a trivial girl who wants to hear about the nighttime she was built-in, but equally you read it y'all tin can tell it is not the first fourth dimension she has heard it.

The book is basically the little daughter tell the story herself. Y'all can tell the excitement in her words and the dearest she has for the story. I think the fact that is in her perspective that it is easier for young kids who would like to read this book to sympathise. In the volume I liked how the adoption procedure was explained. The little girl mentions that her mommy could not brand a baby in her breadbasket so someone that could but was not set up to exist a mommy wanted them to be her parents. The illustrations were so well done. I like the color which to me would be extremely appealing to young children. The illustrations help follow the story, so if a child that may non be able to read then well tin expect at them and see what is happening. I call back that this book should exist read to young kids because information technology does showtime a conversation among them. ...more

A young girl asks her parents to tell the story of her birth which is plain much-loved and much-requested but ends up telling the story herself. Information technology starts with the phone call to the adoptive parents, their aeroplane ride, the hospital and their first night together as a family changing diapers, watching baseball game and singing lullabies and ends with them being a loving family unit. Each page gives fun specific details such as "dad was snoring" or "y'all carried me like a people's republic of china doll." The witty and loving text is matched perfectly with the whimsical illustrations. The text is straightforward about adoption but not overwhelming or didactic. This book highlights the need children, peculiarly children who have been adopted, have to hear their birth stories with every bit many details as possible. Many children have heard their adoption story but not their birth story. The book is reassuring and normalizing merely likewise acknowledges some negative feelings. I love at that place is an analogy of the footling daughter's family tree including mostly the adoptive family unit but as well some of the birth family. This could exist reassuring to a child who has been adopted since creating a family tree is commonly stressful and anxiety-provoking. And show mode to integrate the two families and history.
There is an acknowledgement of the birth parents but not very much information or history given. Also there were not whatsoever feelings, positive or negative, expressed associated with the birth parents. Potentially this might give the impression that the adoptive parents or kid shouldn't accept whatever feelings or thoughts about their nascency parents, which would exist more than singular of an adoptive family unit's feel. The volume being curtailed is positive more often than not but here an aware parent may want to discuss a lilliputian further nearly their adopted child's personal history, birth parents and feelings. In that location does seem to be a petty stereotyping in the roles of dad and mom (Dad teaches nigh baseball game, albeit to a babe girl and Mom is caring for the baby in the illustrations and singing the lullabies).
This is a expert book to utilise with lifebooks. It was written by actress Jamie Lee Curtis who has adopted two children and although I am a lilliputian leery of celebrity books...I love this one and is another peak personal favorite. Aurora loves information technology too already (probably because of the illustrations) and we read it ofttimes.

I think they exercise friction match the words but it is as well hard to tell considering of the way it was illustrated.

There was no cultural aspect in this volume and i wonder why. when adopting a child they may be from a different cultural grouping from you lot and i retrieve her background should have been said. Even though she is their child now you should have talked about how you celebrated her cultural difference and then she wont observe herself forgetting who she is. I also did non like how the volume said that her nascency mom was to immature to take a child. This makes information technology seem that if your adopted than your mom was too young to accept intendance of you and that is not the example. I think adoption is a wonderful thing and instead of maxim her mom was immature only say that some families tin can not have kids so people requite them the gifts of kids. Overall i only thought this proficient could have been better. ...more

Taken separately, I would give the text 4 stars and the illustrations 2 stars. The story is pretty sugariness and straightforward - the "voice" of the volume is a child who had obviously been adopted, reminiscing with her parents about the stories they've told her about the night she was born. The vocalisation didn't sound much like a child, though, which was distracted me a little.Not remotely as distracting as the illustrations, notwithstanding. I am firmly convinced that they were put in to keep the parent who is reading the volume entertained, rather than the child. They were certainly colorful, but not very well drawn. Also, in that location were "jokes" thrown in all over the identify (a volume with the title "Slim Thighs in thirty Days!" appears on a regular basis; when mom sings a lullaby the baby is looking at her with an "I tin can't stand this" expression on her face, etc.), which kept me rolling my eyes rather than smiling.
My overall recommendation: get alee and read it, if the topic is relevant to your family... but, infringe information technology from the library.

Later, I asked the class if they had asked their parents nigh the day they were born and many had not and so I encouraged them to go habitation and do that.

The parents and child are clearly Caucasian in the illustrations. For non-adoptive families, this is a lovely mode to explore the idea of adoption. This is a completely positive book. Most children honey to hear their origin stories, and this is a joyful celebration of one child'due south arrival into the earth, where pre-selected adoptive parents were waiting eagerly.
