Beautiful Music [Paperback]

Sylvia Worden (Author), Ira Bigelow (Illustrator)

Book Description

The author and illustrator of this book are a mother-son team who traveled to China in 2000 to bring home a child who had been known in her orphanage as "Beautiful Music". This imaginative children's book takes another look at international adoption from China, this time from the point of view of the Chinese birthmother. While this book may assist adoptive parents whose children are asking more complex questions about their birth parents and country of birth, it tells a compelling story that all children can enjoy. The main character is plucky, loving and brave, while the story is of danger, bad luck, and finally bittersweet good fortune at the tale's end.

This review is from: Beautiful Music (Paperback)

This is truly a story that not only touched my heart but brought tears to my eyes. A wonderful story of adoption told through the words of an adoptive mother and illustrated by her son. The joining of language and art truly gives the reader a feeling of love that surrounds the child who is to be adopted and for the hope in her new life. If you are an adoptive parent, or know an adoptive parent, looking for a book to help you tell a story of adoption to your child - this is the one to get. I highly recommend it.
