Book Description

Publication Date: November 15, 2008

The joyous and mystical adoption of a precious baby from Ethiopia is the theme of this story, played out in a magical garden. It explores the wonder and beauty of families coming together with all their differences through the incredible gift of adoption and how beautiful those differences can be when founded in love.

Unique interactive spaces in the book allow children the opportunity to explore their own relationships as they answer questions by designing and coloring their own pages, becoming co-authors/illustrators! Lines for them to sign their name and the date of their illustrations are included to become very special memories for years to come. Creating even more fun is the little yellow kitten hidden throughout the book. Can you find her?

This review is from: The Magical Friendship Garden (Paperback)

The author of this book, states so simply, things in a child's life that really matter. She speaks from her heart and with affection. After reading this book, even me as an adopted child at the age of 44, felt better about being a member of my adoptive family. I can't wait for more books to come from this author!
