描述
The husband-and-wife team behind this book drew on their own adoptive daughter’s experience in creating this accessible, appealing story celebrating the love of families everywhere.
When it’s Cassidy-Li’s turn to be Star of the Week at school, the spunky kindergartener gets to create a poster about herself. She has pictures of all the important people in her life—with one big exception. Cassidy-Li, adopted from China when she was a baby, doesn’t have a photo of her birth parents. But with a little help from her family, she finds a special way to include them.
Cassidy-Li’s thoughts and questions about her birth family will resonate with adopted children and serve as a springboard for discussion in homes and classrooms. This picture book gently explores what adoption means for growing children—the questions adopted children have don’t stop as they grow older.
Any young reader who feels that their family structure is unusual will find a reflection of themselves in Cassidy-Li’s struggle to define her own family.
