Descripción editorial
Bestselling artist Jane Dyer and author Rose A. Lewis explore adoption through a mother's heartfelt story of finding her daughter in China.
Features:Read Aloud functionality [where available]
Book Description:How did someone make this perfect match a world away?
This story tells how two worlds come together to create a family, from a mother's first day holding her adopted daughter in China, to the baby's first peek at her new home. Based on the author's own experience, this book is a celebration of the love and joy a baby brings into the home.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lewis's sweetly sentimental picture-book debut plays out like a love letter to her adopted Chinese daughter. As she recalls the events leading up to their first meeting ("I had been waiting for you my whole life")--the letters to foreign officials, the baby picture she received, the flight to China with other excited soon-to-be parents--and describes their joyous homecoming, she taps into a well of genuine emotion, not surprisingly, since her account is based on her own experience. Like Jamie Lee Curtis's Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born, the book offers abundant reassurances of love to adopted children, even if at times it seems more concerned with the feelings of the adult narrator than with those of the child ("How did someone make this perfect match a world away? Did the Chinese people have a special window to my soul?"). Dyer's (When Mama Comes Home Tonight) watercolors are almost meltingly tender. Whether depicting an airplane soaring against a star-spangled night sky, a round-cheeked child enthralled with a room full of toys or an embrace shared by the newly bonded mother and child, the clear, bright colors and clean lines of her portraits are immensely appealing. Ages 4-8.
