This review is from: Oh, How You Make My Heart Sing!: A Heartfelt Story of Adoption (Paperback)

This book is written in a very unique and creative way. Using animals to tell the story of adoption is incredible. It allows even small children to begin to understand the meaning of adoption in a positive way. The book is especially helpful if you are a single parent adopting a child. Written from a Christian perspective it also teaches adopted children that God loved and cared about them even before they were born! This is a must read for any family who has been touched by adoption.

Oh, How This Made OUR Hearts Sing!!!! My daughter is 4 1/2 yrs old and this book was perfect for her. I would recommend this book for a 3-6 yr old. We were blessed with our child through a kinship adoption and were finding it difficult to find a book that tackled this kind of adoption. This book was a great book we're using to introduce our daughter to the meaning of adoption and we will use it to spark a more intimate and detailed conversation.

Mama Kitten can not take care of her new baby kitten and prays to the Lord for help on what to do. She decides on a friend, Sadie the dog, who takes the baby kitten and loves her like her own.

This book is great for kinship, single-parent, two-parent, or inter-racial adoptions.

This review is from: Oh, How You Make My Heart Sing!: A Heartfelt Story of Adoption (Paperback)

This book is written in a way that helps a child to understand their adoption. I read this book to my 5 year old son many times and he seemed to understand better each time. I never knew HOW WELL he was understanding until we went to Disney World a couple of months ago and I heard him explaining his adoption to the lady at the table beside us in the same loving way the book is written. As any adoptive parent would understand I wanted to cry and cheer at the same time! Thank you Beverly and Sherry. Your beautiful gift has been a great blessing!
