title: Xander's Story
author: Alejandro Garcia-Halenar
description: "This picture book tells the story of how one little boy, Xander, came to be the son of his two loving dads through surrogacy.<br /><br />The underlying message that love is what brings a child into the world shines all the way through this book from start to end. When Dad and Papa met, they fell in love, travelled the world, celebrated life with friends and family, and knew they wanted more: a child of their own to love. They go in search of a perfect egg and a safe place to keep the egg cozy and warm so that it can grow. Aunt Stacie has a perfect and special place: her tummy. The egg grows from the size of a bean, to an orange, to a football, and (after nine months) a beautiful little baby. Now the family is complete. "Love is what inspired our special family. And our love grows more and more each day."<br /><br />The authors have done a nice job of simplifying the scientific process of surrogacy for a young audience, while also making it as fun as looking for special treasure. While the digital images are not entirely scientific (the eggs look more like a chicken egg), they purposely create relatable and entertaining analogies so that the idea of surrogacy is easy to connect with and process.<br /><br />Xander's Story would be a great choice for any parents looking to introduce the concept of surrogacy while demonstrating the power of family and unconditional love."<br /><br /> <b>- The Children's Book Review</b> (www.thechildrensbookreview.com)
