Hanna hovers close and whispers in the nannies ears directing them to a special baby for the kind woman named Ellen. Facilitating perfect matches through adoption is what this story explains.

As a mother of an adopted daugther from China and as an educator, I think this is a wonderful story to share with your adopted child or loved ones to give them an understanding of the special connection a mother and an adopted child have. I love reading this book with my daughter. She often asks if Hanna is still helping mommies and babies to become happy families. What a great story!
