A student's time with a visiting author can be fun and educational. One of
the greatest rewards of being an author is watching the reactions that children
have when I read and discuss my story with them. International Adoption is growing
in this country and it is important for children to understand the meaning of
adoption and the reasons that the children are relinguished for adoption.
Children will encounter adopted children in their classroom, neighborhoods, as
friends and in their own families. They will wonder why some children do not look
at all like their parents.
In my book, Letter Of Love From China, a Chinese Birth Mother explains to her
daughter, written in the form of a letter, about her birth, loving relinguishment
and her adoption.
The story is for children ages 4-10
The illustrations are beautiful and detailed to draw the child in.
The beauty of scenic China is discussed as well as the cultural traditions and
holidays.
Children will come away with an understanding of International Adoption.
