Sweet Moon Baby: An Adoption Tale by Karen Henry Clark
We give this a 4 out of 5 stars.
Here is a summary from Random House:
"This is the story of one baby’s journey from her birth parents in China, who dream of a better life for their daughter, to her adoptive parents on the other side of the world, who dream of the life they can give her.
A turtle, a peacock, a monkey, a panda, and some fish shepherd the baby as she floats in a basket on a moonlit, winding river into the loving arms of her new parents.
Perfect for bedtime reading, Karen Henry Clark’s poetic text, reminiscent of a lullaby, and Patrice Barton’s textured and gentle-hued illustrations capture the great love between parents and children and the miraculous journey of adoption."
Our thoughts: We love the pictures in this book! They are very well drawn, sweet and fun to look at it. That is always a plus in any kids book. We love how when the birth parents realized they were not able to care for their sweet baby, they were willing to trust that somebody else would be able to give their daughter the things she needs. Such a selfless decision. We also love how dedicated the adoptive parents were to prepare for and find their daughter.
