Additional text
Though this is an adoption book, the focus of the book is not always on the child’s homecoming; at times it is about how much she is loved and what her childhood experiences are, illustrating that an adoption is an event that happens, not an ongoing process.
A tender, beautifully illustrated picture book depicting adoption as a way to grow a family. ~Kirkus
