Title: Telling an Adoption Story
Product review: Even if you do not have an internationally adopted child, but especially if you do, this is a beautiful and wonderfully told adoption tale. The text is both lyrical and telling, and written in a way that celebrates both An Mei's Chinese birth mother and her American adoptive parents. Because it is written in the child's voice, my adopted Korean daughter found it easy to express her feelings about her own adoption story and to find comfort in knowing that other kids have similar questions and feelings.As important as the text, the illustrations in this book are incrediably beautiful and soothing. They tell the story of abandoment and new-found love in an honest but non-threatening way.We continue to enjoy this book at home and I have given it as a gift to a number of friends who have Chinese-born daughters.I highly recommend An Mei's Journey for both children and adults.
